125 Gallon Stocking List

[dhanck]

As I was reading about stocking guidelines I came across something the considered units of fish and said a standard 125 gallon has room for 12 units of fish (I will note what they defined as a unit on my list below).

The tank is 125 gallons, 55 gallon sump (about 35 gals worth of water) 150ish lbs of live rock, a couple soft tree corals, Reef Octopus 150 (i think, maybe 200) skimmer.

I wanted to get your opinions on this list. This may not be the final list but this is pretty close and conceptually what I would like to do.

Stocking List:
2 Clownfish (still deciding - Ocellaris, percula or maroon) - 1 unit
2 Flame Angels - 1 Unit
1 Coral Beauty Angel - 1 Unit
1 Green Mandarin - 1 unit (maybe not due to difficulty or later on)
1 Diamond Watchman Goby & 1 Royal Gramma- 1 unit
1 Sailfin Blenny - 1 Unit
1 Kole Tang - 2 units
1 Powder Blue Tang - 2 units (may end up with different tangs, but will avoid the really big ones)
1 Blue Spotted Puffer - 2 units

Any thoughts or feedback welcome.

I wouldn't get a powder blue tang as it will too aggressive in a tank that size. I also would only add one dwarf angel, or get three different kinds.

I am also considering a square anthias and six line wrasse in place of a couple of the dwarf angels.

skip the powder blue, too small of a tank. 2 flame angels might not work out. flame and coral beauty will 100% fight unless introduced at exactly the same time. anthias would be a cool replacement for the powder blue

I thought the puffer can be quite aggressive also?

2 Clownfish (still deciding - Ocellaris, percula or maroon) - Yes, a bonded pair of Maroons will take over that whole tank
2 Flame Angels - Should be the only 2 dwarf angels in the tank, if you go this route
1 Coral Beauty Angel - I would not try with 2 Flames
1 Green Mandarin - IMO, may not survive long with a lot of competition for pods with the other fish
1 Diamond Watchman Goby & 1 Royal Gramma- Yes
1 Sailfin Blenny - yes
1 Kole Tang - yes, but can become aggressive towards the Sailfin blenny
1 Powder Blue Tang - No, requires a 180 or bigger
1 Blue Spotted Puffer - yes
