When trying to add new to old I section off the tank to give the new comer time to adjust. I have attached a picture of my old 300 as an example

You will need something aggressive like a grouper or another trigger. A snapper of some sort might fit the bill too

I always find that feeding a lot the week leading up to the new addition helps. I think a lot of aggression is related to food supply.
