that looks more like diatoms to me. increase water flow over the area, do water changes, make sureyou are not going through a cycle again [only if its a fairly new set-up]

sorry i didnt finish reading your post before i answered.
you can count about 1" of fish[consider their full grown sizes, not the sizes they are now] for every 5 gallons of water in your tank.
based on the formula above you can have 55" of fish. how you decide to use those 55 inches is up to you :joy:

Huh? What math is that? By your formula he should have 25" of full grown fish for a 125... and he's already got 4 x that amount without adding anything.

Also, a picasso will PROBABLY kill a lion. If you get rid of the panther, that will clear a lot of space.

I agree with JCRIM loose the panther grouper. this will out grow your 125 . and picasos/huma huma's have a tendency to be mean and pick at other fish. I'm told that sweet lips are very hard to keep. I haven't tried them for that reason.
