any input on mixing a tang, trigger, butterfly fish, foxface, a moray lion, and an angel? or more of one of any kind, any suggestions. also would this put out an acceptable bio load or create too much in the long run.

dude its hit and miss.... you could have 10 triggers and they could all get along.. you could get all those same 10 triggers and they could all fight, or maybe 2 get along. Its predators, trial and error. Once again your best bet is to just list fish that you like and plan to get and we can tell you our personal stories or experiences.

My moray eel was best friends with 2inch clown trigger. Once my BB grouper died, he ate everything in the tank... They are just unpredictable

Always have enjoyed the challenge of maintaining a pred community. It can be risky, costly, and frustrating but it is the way of the MFK.

very well said.

It really makes your tank that much more special to find a group of preds that will co exist. Many fish will get beat up, need to be taken back, etc.

im thinking tang, trigger, butterfly fish, foxface, moray, lion, and an angel as a general starting point.
