Your Triggers will outgrow your tank. Other than that, it looks good.

I voted for idk.

Oh I like em too, triggers are my favorite. But the reason I got the one I had is because he terrorized someone elses tank and I had a tank he could call his own.. and he was only 2-1/2" at that time. He still managed to terrorize the live rock and any piece of equipment in the tank.

When I had to get out of the hobby for awhile due to my work situation (traveling a lot etc) he went to a locally owned LFS. He went into one of those partitioned style setups you see in LFS (they had some larger ones though, probably 40-50g cubes where he was in) and twice he made into adjacent units and killed his neighbors. The employees even made him a custom name/price tag.. a skull and crossbones. Last I heard, before the owner retired and sold the store, is he went to another trigger lover locally that had set-up a 90g tank just for him.

Here's a pic of him when I had him.. I think he was sizing me up and plotting my murder TBH. He was appropriately named Darth Maul.

I'm well aware that all fish, especially triggers, all seem to have their own personality. But I've yet to hear about a friendly Undulated Trigger, especially when they get a bit older. Best of luck to ya!

Fish change as they mature. You may not have experienced problems so far, but that might not mean anything. All 3 are fish that eventually reach 1' long, and takes years to grow to that size. The first one to hit maturity will probably shred every other fish in the tank. It may take a year or or more from now, but it will happen.

Yes for sump with macro-Algea and refugium. Get one with filter sock and not bioballs. Careful with Damsels as they get aggressive- especially to new fish being introduced. They grow fast and before you know it you have two 5 inches disasters in your tank.
