    well that would be a reef :)

    and its tough with triggers and angels you have to be careful with them + corals. also in a 120 you would be very limited with angels and tangs

    as far as trigger what could i do and how many? i always kind of wanted 2 but may be a little crowded with the other fish although ive seen more crowded...what do you think

    i am not sure. i have always liked huma humas but my lfs always gives me 1000 reasons not to. 120 is pretty big, but a trigger, let alone 2, would be pushing it i think.

    ya cuz if i got two there would be virtually no room for the angel i bet because they all like swiming around a lot and same with tangs. im stcuk between a niger, humu and clown trigger and im pretty set on a emperor angel after i saw 2 nice ones at my lfs yesterday. I just dont know what else to put...very hard decision thats why i am asking for help from more experienced people who knows what works and what doesnt hah

    yeah i understand. i am experienced with most fish besides puffers and triggers... the clown trigger is sure awesome though. if i were you i would get the emperor and a clown trigger in a fish only tank and then go from there

    ya and if i feel like an anenome i might try that with a clown or 2 just for some movement or just get 2 small sps that arent to much money and let them grow.
