    Very jealous - I love my reef but would love to have a large tank to house fish like that. One of the larger angels would be a must for me - I love the looks of the Majestics.

    in a predator tank there is no such thing as a clean up crew, it would be gone in a day. also i wouldnt keep more than one species of trigger together that wont end good in most cases. there are exceptions tho. if i were you this is what i would add

    golden pufer
    clown trigger
    banana eel
    blue faced angel
    emporer angel
    naso tang
    pb tang
    volitan lion

    thats just me tho
