i have a 75 FOWLER with a 9in porcupine puffer and a similar length snowflake eel. is there anything else i could put in there? i was thinking a trigger of sorts but i dont know if it could hang with the puffer. maybe another eel? help me out here.
what do you think?

that puffer is going to need a bigger tank soon and that a lot to ask on the bio-load as is much less with another messy fish in there.
i say no
i say no
my puffer seems to have a very slow growth rate so i figure im fine for a long while. i have had him for about a year and he has grown about an inch or two. the tank has live rock on the bottom but its mostly tonga branch and it just covers most of the bottom. since he doesnt spend much time down there, he has the whole rest of the tank to swim and play. i am not worried, in the last, of him getting too big for that tank all too soon.
but still i think that a porc eel and trigger would be too much and unless you had a huge skimmer andsump i don't think it would work very well for any of them.
my setup is actually 2 75s plummed into a 45 sump the top 75 is a reef and the bottom is the one in question, i do actually have a decent skimmer too its a proclear aquatics impact 200.
im not trying to sound like a jackass im just letting you know cause i dont want to ruin **** in my system, but i want others' opinions.

im not trying to sound like a @$$ holding you down.
how are the trates in the reef doing hooked up to another tank and a shared sump, i would just thing that would cause problems, i've seen it done before but the tanks were smaller and the sump larger.

you would be surprised. systems with a reef and a FOWLR setup on the same sump that is less then half the total volume could cause a huge problem. i would say no agaisnt adding another one also. it could deff. complicate the system and nobody wants to see the reef go under. i agree with BIGgourami.
