trigger will get too big for a 120g IMO

I kept a pair of blue throat triggers in my 120 and had them for 2 years until I decided to sell them to a friend with a larger tank. They did very well, just realize that at some point they will outgrow the 120.

That sounds like a good fish list, except for the comments above regarding the Trigger. While your tank is certainly more than large enough for a Mandarin, it might be too new. Do you have Chaeto or rubble in your sump? If so, you might want to seed it with a bottle of pods and get them started reproducing in that safe environment. Make sure you turn off all flow in the sump for a few minutes before you add pods. Also, I think the Wrasses you are contemplating will compete with the Mandarin for pods. There are quite a few Wrasses that don't hunt pods.

My chaeto got into the main tank so I pitched it. I have LOTS of rock in the fuge.
