ahhh, didn't see your pond info in your sig. Hopefully I will be ok. It all depends on the GT's temperment when he gets bigger.
no doubt the only fish who will outgrow my tank are the arowanas.. but still... when they outgrow it ill be getting something else thats cool
I think its alright, I would test your water weekly and see how the chemistry is doing. keep an eye on it and it should be fine.
i think the gt is going to be less of a problem then you think. especially if it turns out to be a female.

I think your stocking levels are fine for a 120. I would be more concerned with the filtration. I'm not sure which model the 1500 is but I have two cascade canisters running at the moment. In my opinion they are below average filters. I bought both of mine for 75% off because a local fish store was going out of business. I would definately add another filter to your set up even if its a overhang filter. Do you have any bio media inside the Canister or are you just running it with the white filter type pads it comes with. If you don't have any already I would consider adding some type of media for a more abundant amount of beneficial bacteria to grow on. Just to give you an idea on my 125 gallon I have a Cascade filter. (the biggest model they have) Supposedly good for 200 gallon tanks. A wet dry filter that has a few gallons of bio balls and ten pounds or so of lava rock and an emperor 400 overhang filter. The only fish in the tank are six red hook silver dollars and a 10" Cobra pike. Your stocking level seems fine for the size tank just step up the filtration a bit.
