Oh, I really like the schooling banner fish for your butterflies, although the copper banded looks cool to.. Just tossing in my 2 cents.
I like the schooling banner fish because it looks like a moorish idle....

Id say dump the grouper and pick one tang.this will give you variety without issues with the fish.make sure your clown is at least 3 inches and the lion is smaller.my 6 inch lion ate my 4 1/2 in dragon wrasse whoda thunkit :notsure:

So are you not going to do a 125? going to settle for a 100?

going back to the buterfly discussion.
I have had a threadfin butterfly for over a year now and I think he is a great fish. Very hardy for a butterfly. I have also had a copperband butterfly and that one seems a bit more difficult to keep. He ended up with a bacterial infection that I could not treat. He also banged his nose on the glass alot and that might have been the reason for the infection.
I think the copperband looks very cool but if your looking for a hardier fish I would go with the Threadfin.
For the angles, I would not reccomend the Regal angle. My LFS always seems to have one on hand and I have purchased a couple of them. Both of them did not survive for very long. They both were eating fine and suddenly one day out of no where they just passed. There were no signs of stress or anything.
The emporer is a cool fish but you may also want to look into a Koran Angel. They are very hardy and have simular colors as the juv. emporer. They are also more avaiable and will save you some money.
Good luck with the set up!

Could you live with just one threadfin? First off, they hit about 8" max and it would help out your bio load A LOT if you just got one...secondly, if you can't buy them as a mated pair (very rare) then DO NOT GET TWO!! They will rip the ---- out of each other!! And then beat the ---- out of each other again and again until they're both dead!
