without sounding like im repeating myself, thanks again susan for your input. Im sure seeing magnificent fish like that in the wild would be a sure-fire way to gain a new appreciation for them and what is suitable living conditions for them.
It was definitely an incredible experience...in particular seeing things like moorish idols, which are nearly always doomed in this hobby.

I appreciate what ophiura is saying but respectfully disagree. Most saltwater fish only reach half their wild size in captivity. I have sailfin tang that is 5 years old and is only 7" long and reach 15" in the wild. Your Naso more than likely bought at around 4" will only reach about 9" in captivity(Wild size is around 18"). I like my fish at max size to be half the width of my tank which is 18" so at 9" works well. He will be fine for your 125g. They are difficult to get to feed though so if you buy it you should post on here for tips on getting them to feed. Mine would only eat turnip greens and formula 2 flakes for about 2 months before moving on to other stuff(Now eats anything I put in the tank)
