make sure you have no other fish even CLOSE it it's size ;-). and seeing how you have a 125, im assuimg that this wont be your only fish.

I had a angler....very interesting too. Though they are quiet boring untill they there little "fishing lure" springs to life, you will see what i mean if you get one
. Just make sure there are no fish in that tank smaller then the angler or about the same size to the angler because IT WILL EAT IT. They do produce a lot of waste so have a good skimmer, they are save with corals. Incase you cant get it to eat frozen NEVER feed it freshwater guppies. Any more questions?

Anglers should be feed frozen foods all there life (squid, silversides,ect). I'm not really sure on there growth rate since i had my angler for about 4 months (i had to give him away along with my eels since i was moving
) but i hear that they are very slow growers. As for tankmates, eels are perfect, what kind of eel you looking at? Groupers i'm not sure, what kind of grouper and angler you looking at? If you are looking at the Comerson Angler (gets to be about 12'') then a small grouper can do, i know groupers get big and DO eat there tankmates. Puffer and Trigger you should skip on, they dont do that good in reef tanks either. Anglers will not bother hermit and snails but will eat you shrimps. They can defintily go into a reef when small just as long as the fish you have wont eat the angler or the angler eating the tankmates, i would suggest not getting a angler that smaller. Another thing is that anglers may not take the food right off the bat, you may have too place the food by its face for a little bit untill it takes the food, and if you have agressive fish the agressive could come and grab the anglers food.
So have fun with your new fish if you decide to get it :happyfish

Hear is my 2 cents...
Make sure that whatever you put in their is 3x or more than the anglers adult size, and also be sure that the other critters can't eat the angler.
