Hey, in the next few years I am hoping of getting a 70-100 gal tank and wanted to ask if these things would work together.

Arothron Dog Face Puffer
Powder Blue or Brown Tang
Volitan Lionfish
A trigger of some sort- maybe Undulate or Humu Picasso or Niger
A wrasse or maybe some type of Angel if it will fit
Possibly some type of eel - snowflake maybe wolf or something-- provided it will work with all else and I have a tight lid.

Would this be too overstocked? I can rid some of it if necessary would they be compatible together?

Thanks alot!-- This is a long term plan and just thoughts!

The eel wont work with a puffer in the tank. I have 3 puffers in my tank and its pretty outa control lol. I did have a lion in my tank with the puffers and didn't have any problems. For the trigger, I have a Niger trigger in my tank as well and he is great, and doesn't seem to be very agressive except occasional territorial chases, but no nipping or anything.
 
sweet that sounds good, how big is your tank? I don't need an eel so that would be cool. I just need to learn a ton more about puffers before I get one!!

my tank is horribly overstocked, its only a 55g, however, I am debating getting rid of some of the inhabitants and keeping it to just the puffers and trigger. I may just end up putting them all in my 100g tank that I'm debaiting what to put in as of yet :nilly:

I would do your research about puffers, some handle being around tankmates and some really don't. Mine are in a grey area, so they are fine with everyone now, but I added a clownfish the other day and he got killed, so idk, research before you spend the money for sure!
 
cool cool, I might go for a 120 gal or something- I'll have to see what I can find and what conditions I have at the time. -- Also anyone know much about porcupine or Arothron Dog face puffers??? I really like one of those two -- is one easier to take care of or more hardy?
 
if you wanted ALL of those fish i'd bet a bigger tank.. you have alot of large messy fish

in a 100 i would have the puffer, tang, angel/wrasse and maybe eel
 
Well I 'm thinking right now for sure I want a puffer, Tang, Lionfish and Trigger.-- Anything else I can get will be a bonus. -- Though I do want to option to add fish to it because I'm sure I'll come up with more ideas before I put this plan into action. Maybe i'm thinking a 125 gal or somewhere around there. --- How large of a sump should I have for a Tank that large?
 
a 125 would be good, i hear sumps should be about 1/3 the volume of the tank.. so like 40-45 gallons
