Default Now that my 108 is empty I want a clown trigger

I now have a 108 gallon burning a whole in my basement so was thinking.

Would this be and acceptable tank for a solo clown trigger? If so would it be possible to do it without live rock or minimal amount and just use powerfilters?
What kind of water changes, or other maintenance is involved with this type of set up?

Bioballs are the best filtration for a FO when not using that much rock. Nitrates will be higher than a reef tank but can be controlled with water changes. Fish like water changes btw.

In my my tank buster freshwater obsessive days I changed about 900 gallons a week....I never even got a thank you.

I would do a system lie what they have in West ED in EdMONTON. THE FOWlr
I would go with the Few big triggers, with a kick butt skimmer and large homemade rock with big caves in there. with a sand bed of course and fine sand
