I like the Niger triggers and Harlequin Tusks. Not sure if I want to stock with alot of guys or just a few with some gob's and blennies. I have yet to transfer the 20 long to the 75g. I have a few softie mushrooms. Probably gonna do some mushrooms only. Kinda like a fowlr.
Ideas....

volitans lionfish is nice
What can go with them? from whatI understand no blennie, gobies, or any bottom guys. True or not????
 
Fuzzy dwarf lion would be fine. Volitan gets too big for a 75. Anything that is too big to eat would be fine with it. No inverts though.

Yep.

Inverts will be the same deal with triggers and tusks.

Groupers that stay small would be another choice, but they will eat anything small too.

In a 75 gallon you can only put small fish and fish that aren't really active. Tangs are very active so only the smallest species would be ok in a 75, and no more than 1.
 
cool, thanks. Waddabout Snowflake eel with another tankmate or two??
 
i think a snowflake would be fine in a 75

Depends on what tankmates are and filtration, but it's possible.

Agreed, again here you wouldn't be able to keep gobies, blennies, or anything else small too.
 
I am gonna have a 29g sump with LR,chaeto, sand bed. Marineland 100 PS and a CPR Aquafuge Refugium with protein skimmer. I would like a SFE and maybe a large angel or two....possibly tangs or triggers instead of angels. Pretty much the eel and a few big guys and thats it.
