Hello all,
A little history and specs I have a 180 gal w/50 gal sump, nautilus te protein skimmer, 2 fluval 404's, u/v filter, 100lbs lr, 100lbs ls. Up until 5 weeks ago the tank had a large naso tang, 3 blue tangs, 1 powder blue tang, and a sailfin tang. All were lost to ich and infection, we tried to rescue the tank from a guy that really didn't do much for the fish but we lost the battle. :( The tank has sat fallow for 4 weeks at 84° and 1.010 SG. Now I have a 3" Niger trigger and 2 yellowtail damsels, 2 sea serpents, 4 sea cucumbers, a larger cleaner shrimp, large coral banded shrimp (inverts were in the tank originally but removed during the fallow time). I also have a 2" Picasso Trigger in a quarantine tank for the next 2 weeks. A Blonde Naso Tang is on the wish list for the tank as well. Do you see any problems with this set up? Will these 3 large fish co exist peacefully? Am I over stocking?

thanks for any help

Those pesky triggers will certainly (picasso for sure) snack on the shrimp.
If you have a history of a peacful relationship give it a go but in my predator tank my picasso takes certain pleasure in pulling hermits out of their shell and crunching, even the crab's molt is given attention.

I gave my hermits turbo snail shells and that did the trick for my clean up crew.

As far as stars and cucumbers I don't know, but I do know that anything that fleshy and soft would be a treat in my tank.

The Niger is a little less offensive to tank mates though.

I also noticed low traffic on the 'Aggresive Fish' board try WetWebMedia.com for those questions.
