I have a 125g tank that is currently running well. I have about 110 lbs of live rock- I might add more and 100lbs of sand. Currently I have 3 pijama cardinals, a snowflake eel and a huma huma trigger. They are all small at this point so I plan on having them for at least a few years. I need help though with the different fish I am considering for the future, any help would be appreciated!

Different Fish i'm considering: I plan on gettting all of these relatively small
-Porcupine or Dogface puffer
-Koran/other large angel(any that would work better??) or a flame and lemon peel angel
-Power blue tang
-Foxface
-Banana wrasse or Red Corris Wrasse or Harlequin Tusk or Maybe dragon wrasse

I would love to get one in each of these categories but thats probably a little overkill? What do you think?

Thanks alot

my suggestions from your list... but you'll really want to watch out for the cards (and maybe get a few more) with the trigger

adding a skimmer certanily woulnd't be a bad thing, like a coralife 125
 
I already have an octopus 150, it's doing a great job soo far, it's got a ton out. I'm still trying to tweak it to maximize performance.

I think your suggestions are pretty good, I'm starting to think from what I've heard though that a large angel is too big for my system, however I'm still thinking of getting one small and taking him out before he is fully grown. Same with the puffer!
 
just re-read the question... forgot about the eel, yeah you should knock off the angel or one of the larger fish
something like: the tang, the foxface (i recommend Virgates, BEAUTIFUL) the wrasse and what you have would be fine

ah, well then nevermind. octopi are excellent skimmers
 
yeah, with all the other live stock I feel like the powder blue may be stressed out and feel crampted. Then probably 2 dwarf instead of the large angel.
 
try and stick with two very different ones (like the lemon and fire)
a 125 is pretty big but two similar ones (like a pygmy and a flamback) are still more likely to fight


oh, and definitely get some pics ;) hoes love pics
 
yeah, I like the lemon peel and flame- either that or try to find a pair. but I would like two different ones more!

Here's a few pics of the process my tank has gone though so far!

Currently they are all doing great- I think I got the trigger and eel about 1.5 months ago.
