Trigger dominated tank

[Jasanden]

Calling on everyone experienced in mixing triggers. Right now I have a 120gal mixed reef. In the future I was thinking of breaking down my reef and setting up another fowler probably around 300gal. I'm fan of triggers but know many get very aggressive as they mature. What are some options of types and how many. Can you get away with a crosshatch, sargassumn, bluethroat ,and more? This isn't happening anytime soon I'm just curious what people think can be done. Is there a link to a trigger dominated build? Any info would be great.

Thanks

No it is possible to keep queens and blue lines with other triggers. But undulate triggers and I think titans and clowns you will have a problem with.

I have heard blue lines killing adulated band clown triggers are more peaceful than blue lines but not by much but yes possible but not recommended so Titan undalayed blue line and queens are also possible but I have seen them crack glass and I had one try to bite me while diving in the caribeaan and it was two feet thank goodness he didi not bc that would have hert

IME their are too many variables .size of fish.order added,size of tank, personality of fish (some fish are just nuts and some are push overs)feeding technique.water quality .water temp , salt levels

Get some triggers and see how they work. Some don't get along, but most of the times they do. Undulateds are nasty all the time. Titans are next. Blue lines, queens, clowns do well together in the sub 12" size. But again, some are mean at 3" so be ready to cycle through some fish until you have the right set of fish. See my hello to my monster thread to see my triggers. PM me for more info, or search some of the previous people that had trigger tanks like jmcown or danorth or recty.

With triggers you can find a mix that works, then one day it just does not work anymore.

There is a lot of trial and error.

do not add an undulate...just bad news, unless it is the only fish in the tank...
fuscus and clowns will get aggressive when large...

get them as small as posssible and add the most aggressive last and make sure that fish is the smallest...

feed often...and cross your fingers....

good luck

some trigs you just dont know about...I have a smallish, 3 inch, flagtail trig that is the biggest sob ever...
