    Not to be a negative Nancy, but you may want to stop adding fish. With the skimmer you have and water volume I believe you are already asking for a problem. I think you are going to have a real problem keeping the water quality and peace in that tank long term. I understand how hard it is not to purchase every fish you have the money for and want, but I think you should take sometime before you make any more additions and maybe rethink some of the ones you have already made.

    My skimmer is rated very well for a high bioload, I also have a fuge with cheato, but your right I have definately added the last fish to the tank. Thanks for the heads up on the Cori Wrasse, I read on here about them I actually thought they only got 6-8 inches in the home aquarium but either way its a big wrasse that is prone to having a bad attitude.

    I hope i'm wrong on the skimmer thing for the sake of your fish! FYI safe rule of thumb divide by 2 what the manufacture claims. ie 90g

    Heres a link to the skimmer by bioload.

    Skimmers (By Bio-Load)

    I have had great results so far, I have planned on trading in the Trigger, and the tangs as they get larger. Thanks for the insight though, I will definately keep an eye on it.

    So really no update, I changed the rocks on the left side and changed out a power head. All fish are happy and healthy. The trigger is getting big but still no aggression. The Tangs show him they are boss.
