    ya thats true but i may try it by just adding them first. if i was going to put in 2 triggers would i put them in at the same time?

    Adam you really need to look at the finished product. These fish your thinking about are going to be large. There is no way to candy coat this for you. We here at 3reef are here to help those looking to do a reef. That is our basic reason for being here. You are fighting yourself and your just asking for disappointment. These fish you are looking at NEED a lot of swimming room so keep that in mind and they have predatory tendencies. That can work if that's what you want. Have you discussed your plans with your LFS and if so what did they offer for advice? Do you talk to the customers in the store. I talked to the clercks when it was slow and talked to the customers when they were busy. Gather information and take a few months to decide. I'll stay posted to see where you go with this.

    I would not keep a grouper in a 60" tank.

    All those 3" fish today will be 12" or more in a year or two, and in the wild can get to 18-24 inches and bigger.
