Well I have been reading now for a long time and decided to post and at least introduce myself. I have been keeping all types of freshwater fish for over 12 years and have very limited experience with SW. I recently received a 75gallon and decided to go sw. While my first thought was to set up a nice beginner reef tank with some softies and what not but after thinking about the time it would take to properly set up the tank (6 months +) I have been considering a aggressive fish only tank. The reason for this is that I expect to have to move in a year and dont want to put all the time and effort into setting up a reef tank only to have to tear it down and move it. I have always loved the lionfish and have been considering several different possibilities of fish. Please let me know what you think and if you have any advice or suggestions.

2 Antennata Lions
1 panther grouper
1 niger trigger
1 humu trigger
1 snowflake moray


Too much? I know that panther groupers get really large but some sites I read say 75gal +, others say 300 gal. Maybe when my job settles down a little more I will pursue a reef tank but for now im thinking this might be the way to go.

Thanks for all the help guys.
