I have a 135 gallon predator tank So far I have a Dwarf Lion at about 3 inches and Stars and Stripes puffer. I want to add A Ptrois Lion (possibly an Antenna Lion) Maculosis angel,BlueChin Trigger, Diamond Goby(one of the 6inchers to sift sand),Orange shoulder tang and a tang from the Zebramosa family. Lunar Wrasse?? Is there a certain order to stock these to avoid as much agression as possible. Total system volume is about 170 gallons.
Hmmm, you may be pushing it with that tank. If you have Stars and Stripes puffer (Arothron hispidus), you are looking at a potential 20 inch long puffer! Pomacanthus maculosus Angel has a potential growth of 18 inches. If you have a "standard" shaped 135, 18 inches is how wide the tank is (front to back that is). The orange shoulder (Acanthurus olivaceus), Blue Jaw Trigger (Xanthichthys auromarginatus) and Lunar Wrasse (Thalassoma lunare) are potential big fish too with the tang and triggeer topping out at 12" and the wrasse possibly 10". I would trim your list a little to account for bioload. The puffer is going to be a very messy eater as well. As far as stocking order, put the orange shoulder in closer to the end as it will be a very aggressive fish once settled in.
how much sand and liverock do you have? I know you need a deep sand bed for the Lunar to dig himself down in and some good live rocks for the triggers to hide in. You will need alot of room for the lunar to swim around in they are very active and swim fast.
My Sandbed is about 3 inches. I plan on having at least 135 lbs of rock. I could cut back to one tang or cut the wrasse. The wrasse was just a speculation. I may cut the orange shoulder and go with a sailfin. Actually I may cut the angel and keep the rest.
I would keep the Lunar they add good color, I have heard that blue chip are very aggressive so you might want to put him in last.
The Lunare is an add for sure. Adding the trigger last is probably a good idea. I will probably have to add him and the tang towards the end. I think I will only add 1 tang. I am still undecided on the one to keep for sure.
