    couple of different options for you depending on what you want for a tank. live rock fish only , mixed reef , agressive and depending on what type of trigger you have thats the way your going. so a little info on the setup and what you want your setup to be will help.

    Hey Shawn

    Welcome to GIRS

    What kind of trigger do you have? Many triggers are big eaters of everything, so you have to watch what you add. If you want a peaceful tank, depending on what kind it is, you can sell trade the trigger.

    I would start out with your easier hardy fish. A smaller tang or two would be good, maybe some clowns and wrasses. The possibilites are endless.

    Do you have a sand bed, or bare?

    There is a listing for all the stores in Iowa under the resources menu. Tim from seascapes iin Des Moines is very knowledgeable & willing to help out, plus they are a site sponsor.

    Good luck
    Craig
