just recently finished cycling,added 4 green chromis a few days ago.

ammonia,nitrite and nitrates all good.

tank is 75 gallon with 40 lbs reef bones and 20 lbs live rock,not sure,may add 10-20 lbs more live rock later but rather have more fish.

want to add some corals later also.

I have a skimmer and rena xp3 canister with bio rings for more bio filtration.

I like yellow tangs,royal grammas,niger trigger(told niger is least aggressive)
small angel,clown,lawnmower blennie,mandarin fish.

I like others but this is an idea what I like.oh by the way,are puffer fish a bad idea and will any of these eat my corals?

any help is much appreciated! :D
 
Most of these sound good...
Triggers are unpredictable and love crustaceans, use caution.
Research will tell you the Mandarin Dragonet should be removed from your list.
 
I think the 4 chromis would work nicely with the LMB, a dwarf angel and a clown (or a pair of clowns) and maybe the gramma. I'd stay away from triggers and tangs, too much bioload IMO. The above would give you a nice variety without overloading the tank.
