Stocking a 125

[steveo32]

Ok well I need your advice for a 125 list. What I already have are as follows: 1-Purple Tang , 3-Green Chromis, 1-Marroon Clown, 1-Neon Damsel. What I want to have are 1-2 more tangs. i wanted a red sae Salfin and a Sohal but other thread seem to say no. 7-Lirytail Anthias, A queen angel and thats all I was thinking but what do you think I should put in? My take is very open i have 200lbs or rock and they are formed into two reef pillars on either side of the tank.

i say stick with the lyretails anthias and the queen angel, adding tangs at this point would be taking a risk of having them killed by your purple tang who already has a an established territory.

queen angel = 18"

I would love to have aswell but just can't justify it

the biggest queen angel i have seen in the wild has been aroudn 12" and i never heard fo them gettting that big.

every website that I have ever seen quotes them at 15 to 18 inches long.....

Yeah i 've seen that on websites alos but thebiggest i have ever seen in captivity is like 10" at t he most. but I want a small adult and by the time it grew out of that tank i would have a new house with a bigger badder reef lol

seems like a little too much for a 125 too, I'm getting a 125 also but I will have mostly smaller fish. . . Maybe 1 more tang and like 4-5 anthias would be ok. .
