whats the truth?

Assuming the fish get along well enough, I think you can get by with a 125. They're easier to find and more affordable than a 180. A 180 will give you more height, but I don't see how it would reduce aggression.

I haven't seen anyone say this but 2 SD is too few. You should have at least 6 and with getting a large tank you should maybe even get more, given the stock you mentioned.

UTEP mentioned adding more SD's a few posts back. I agree with you that a school of 6 is a minimum and with the larger tank maybe a few more would be better.

so i was looking at some fish in my lfs the other day and they were telling me some stuff about my fish that i wanted to come to you guys to verify...

Word of advice...

Never take advice from someone who profits off of you following their advice...

...and giving you that advice doesn't help me out in any way

One more thing it might be better to add 2 more SDs they are more happy in schools.
You might want to get rid of the pleco-just add more waste.
