I have a 125 fowlr tank. I know i'm getting close if not already fully stocked. Do you think I can have any more fish and if so how many? My stocklist is:
maroon clown-3"
dogface puffer-6"
niger trigger-3"
humahuma-2"
panther grouper-5"
black trigger-6"
undulated trigger-5"
yellow tang-3"
domino damsel-1"
If you think I can have another fish are two give me some suggestions. I think i need some more color in there maybe some blue. The tank is an aggressive tank.

i would stop now. i have a 150 gal fowlr, which had less than that and was kicking off plenty of nitrate and skimmate. i was changing about 65 gals every 2 weeks.
my trigger grew to about 9" in about a year. i don't know about your other stock, but that one fish alone will put pressure on your tank.
i would let it go a while, but you might even consider taking a fish or two out at some point.

I agree, you're full. The Niger and Dogface grow pretty quick. I'd also watch out for aggression from the Undulated, which can get pretty nasty as they get bigger.
