Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis in 125 gallon?

I have fallen in love with this species.

Currently I have 125 gallon tank (48x32x20) with softies and gorgonias, 2 chaetodon declivis, paracentropyge multifasciata and 6 anthias.

I have read as much info as I have got my hands to and it seems to grow to about 8 inches. I have had my tank for two years now and my plan is to go bigger (250 - 350 gallons) in the next 2 - 3 years.

What do you think, could I house a single Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis in this tank (juvenile). Or should I just wait for the time when I get a bigger tank? :)
 
IF you really plan to upgrade I don't see the problem with getting a juvenile

Thanks for the advice! I think its best to reconsider what to do. Maybe just wait until the time for the upgrade comes and then get a pair at the same time :)

Genicanthus bellus was in my list too, but 4 feet tank might be to short for a pair...
