OK, with tax returns coming soon and me wanting a bigger tank desperately I found a 125 in the local classifieds for sale. So I want to switch my 110gal SW to that as the tank is 2 feet longer than what I have right now, and the hieght on my 110 is a PITA!
If/WHEN I get it I was thinking of stocking it with the following...
Volitan lionfish (I already have)
Lyretail Wrasse (already have)
3 Engineer gobies (already have)
Harlequin Tusk (In local classifieds right now for really great price, might pick up this weekend)
Pinktail Trigger
Eel (not sure yet, probably a snowflake)
What do you guys think? Too much? Not enough? Serious problems?
Will be going heavy on the filtration in this tank, as well as providing plenty of hiding spaces and caves to avoid aggression issues.
 
Anyone?
The HT is a definite addition I will be picking up this weekend.
I will keep him in my quarantine tank until I get the new tank setup (should be within the next week or 2) and then will introduce all the fish at once. I will be using the same filter media, rock, sand, and water from my 110 (will pretty much just siphon from one tank to another) to prevent a recycling process. But I will be adding a 2nd canister filter onto the tank, 25lbs more sand, and a bit more live rock.
Of course I will post pics when it's up.
 
Sounds good to me. Just becareful with the lunar wrasse and the trigger when they get bigger they can become very aggressive. I have a russlles lionfish, zebra moray, yellow tang, blue hippo tang, large yellow tail damsel, and a red dotty back in my 125.
 
Doesn't sound to bad to me. Just watch the lunare wrasse and the trigger. As they grow they might become to aggressive for the rest of your fish. I would make sure you have a lot of flow and I would ditch the canister filters. Set up a sump and get a good protein skimmer. I have a russlles lion fish, zebra moray, yellow tang, blue hippo tang, yellow tail damsel, and a red dotty back in my 125 fowlr.

sorry about the double post it didn't show up at first for some reason.
