I wanted to hold off on a trigger until last but I've heard the picasso triggers arent too aggressive.
depends on what you like in the triggers... picasso and niger triggers are less aggressive than the others...(plus their individual personality...)

I ordered 75 lbs of dry rock for 100 bucks which included the 30 dollars for shipping. Still way cheaper than stores.

Bought from affordable aquatics

Just remember it can take up to 9 weeks to get the dry stuff to convert enuff nitrate to be fish and invert safe -20ppm. Exposure to higher amounts at the very least can promote weakened immune systems or shorten their lifespan

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. I went with the Panther Grouper, Lionfish and Niger Trigger. They are all pretty small and I'll feed them carefully so I dont think the impact will be too bad, I will also moniter the ammonia levels etc very carefully. I'll post some pics soon, its built into a wall and its starting to look really cool with the rocks and fish.
