Need Help Stocking My 125

[B.Pereira]

Hello all, just purchased a 125 gallon tank. Dimensions are 72x33x18 I think. I will be using eheim 2232 and 2227 as filters, plan on getting a protein skimmer and 72" t5's. My stocking list most likely will be in order of addition

1) Ocellaris Clown 1.5" (In my 23 Gallon)
2) 2 Blue/Green Chromis 1" (In my 23 Gallon)
3) Foxface Lo 3.5" (In my 23 Gallon)
4) Henoicus Butterfly (Bannerfish)
5) Threadfin Butterfly
6) Snowflake Eel
7) Powder Blue

Any suggestions/changes/input always welcome. Also I'm wondering if I could add 1-2 more fish. Also I test water and do water change every 1.5 weeks. The tank will be in basement with No Sump (is a sump nesscessary?) and the lights will be on from 12 p.m to 11p.m (Timer). All fish will be qted for 4 weeks in a 20 gal qt.

up the chromis #s to 6, and personally I would only get 1 butterfly, maybe replace the other with a yellow tang. keep an eye on the PBT, they extremly sensitive.

will this tank be a reef?

Sorry no it wont be a reef, it will be a FOWLR

Btw nice occupation Moonstream

i wouldnt go for the snowflake because of phosphate

 

[Moonstream]

I think in a tank of that size with regular water changes and a very good skimmer, a snowflake would be fine. especially because this will not be a reef.

If I add another ocellaris for a tankmate will it be fine, also I dont plan on having a sump, but will grow some chaeto in a small fuge. Is a sump absolutly necessary?
