I've got a 75g tank with a fluval 404, and a jebo 180 skimmer. Plus a maxi-jet 400 to add water flow in the lower tank.

These are the fish I have and the ones I want to add. does anyone see any problems?

3in Percula Clown (have)
2in Huma Huma Trigger (have)
Yellow Tang
Damsel (suggestions on what type needed)
dwarf angel (suggestions on what type needed)
Snowflake Moray
Volitain Lionfish

Help would be apperciated and I'm open to all suggestions
 
I wouldn't put a volitan in a 75 with the other fish--and if you do, be prepared for it to eat the clown, damsels, and angel.

Damsels, while cheap and easy, are savage buggers that can make a tank unbearable for the other fish. Yellow tails are considered less aggressive, but IMO, that's like saying that a 40 story building is shorter than a 45 story building--may be factual but both are still tall.

Do you have live rock? Dwarf angels and tangs will both do better with lots of rock to pick and and to supplement their diet. There are a number of angels, but I'd go with one of the bigger ones so it can defend itself from the trigger--bicolors are nice, but can be tough to get feeding.

Mixing triggers and eels is risky. If you don't have lots of cover for the eel to hide in, the trigger may pick on the eel and injure it.
 
I had 4 damsels, for about 2 months. Actually I had 5 but they ganged up and killed one. They spent most of there time chasing each other. One of the three stripes would even come up to the glass and if any one walked by and it looked like it was trying to get you.

Won't the eel eat your fish as well? and the trigger will pick on anything else in the tank it can bite.
