Well I really wanted a Queen Trigger, but I did not to waste this whole tank on 1 fish. Here are my new thoughts. Any input would be appreciated.

1 Niger Trigger (already in tank)
1 Porcupine Puffer (In quarantine)
1 dog face puffer - with it being a 180 I wouldn't since I have seen dog face puffers and porcupine's fight even in tanks where they had 500 gallons to roam
1 stars and stripes puffer - will get eaten by the grouper
1 Humu Humu Trigger
1 Minnatus grouper

Other fish on the wish list, but not sure they will make it in this tank:
1 imperator angel - would be okay
2 maroon clowns they will be okay if there is enough live rock and room to hide but most likely when the grouper starts getting size they'll be lunch.

Any others you guys would recommend?

i had a stars and stripes puffer , my grouper never ate him and very well could have. I think most animals know that puffers are not a good idea to eat. and the puffing up would make it impossible

not for the stars and stripes at our lfs but I guess it also depends on the size of puffer as well

Plans changed a little. The Niger Trigger and Porcupine Trigger are now in the main tank. I have on order a Humu Humu Nuku Nuku (triangle trigger?), Bursa Trigger, and Minatus Grouper. I am thinking that after this maybe 1 more puffer and an angel or two and that would be it.
