Are either of these a suitable choice for my 125g?

Hello!
I finally have my 125g up, running, and cycled and am in the process of planning out my stocking list. I have been looking for a fairly large "showpiece" fish. Right now the two that I am looking at are...

1. Blue Hippo Tang (captive reared)
2. Bluethroat triggerfish

Seeing as how the tank is 4'x2'x25", I don't know if either of these would make a suitable choice really: I'm getting a lot of mixed information on the Hippo Tang and can't find much on the Bluethroat tank size (anywhere from 70g to 180g?). If neither of these would be very suitable, does anyone have a showpiece idea? The tank will have SPS and has high flow w/ a pretty minimalist scape if it helps. Thanks a lot!

i think a bluthroat will be fine. they get about 10" and do liek to play around in fast current.

I know the Hippo won't be suitable long-term, a 6-foot long 180 gallon tank is a pretty standard minimum I see put out by the more experienced keepers.

You are going to get tank size advice all over the board but I always like to give any tang or trigger species as much room as possible, these are large and active fish. Hippos get way too large for a 4' tank long term and I personally wouldn't do a bluethroat or any other trigger either, because of both space and bioload factors. I think a much more suitable showpeice tang would be a purple as they stay smaller than a hippo and should do well long term in a tank that size, I really love the look of this species as well, just a magnificent fish.
