Re-doing my 125g into aggressive FOWLR

[mike22cha]

Well now that my dad got a job as a traveling tech, he isn't home to take care of the fish when I'm not there. So they decided that it'd be best to just keep the 125g instead of spend money downgrading, and put it in an office at my mom's house. I'm going to get trading a lot of fish in at the lfs when I do move it.
Here's what I'm keeping:
-Porcupine Pufferfish
-Juv. Emperor Angelfish
-Coral Beauty Angelfish
-Lawnmower Blenny
Here's what I want to add slowly to the tank:
-Copperband Butterfly
-A group of anthias (not sure of how many girls/male or whatever)
-A group of jawfish (don't know how many I want, but they are just too cool. I'll probaby buy some packaged sand at Petsmart and add to the 125g when I move in my rock/sand so that I can have a deep enough sand bed for the jawfish)
-Yellow Tang
-Triggerfish (Pinktail or Blue Throat, idk any comments on either of those?)
-Sixline Wrasse
I'm low on sand but I think I'm going to go get like 60lbs or so when I move the tank. I'll be moving it tomorrow and probably trading in all those fish tomorrow as well. That's my stocklist and any input is welcome (that's why I made this thread I guess)

I know your Porky is small now Mike, but when he gets big he will eat anything he can, the Anthias, Jawfish, and Sixline are possible candidates.

I would go Male Bluethroat over Pinktail, and IMO you should consider a Female as well if you end up scraping the small fish I mentioned.

The porky is small and I know will become a beast. He is already growing realy well and eating like a pig (porky haha). I guess I may skip on those smaller fish since I'm working on trying to get my mom to let me get a 55g reef instead of a 29g.
So the stocklist would be:
-Pair of bluethroat triggers
-Juv. Emp. Angel
-Coral Beauty
-Porc Puffer
-Copperband Butterfly
-Yellow Tang
Is that a full stock list? I guess it would be because of the bio load.

the BF is a sensitve fish, it might get bullied by anthias (what kind are you looking for? some have much better track records than others, all are a bit of a challenge) and also by the trigger. make sure you QT!

BF? Buttefly? Yeah I was thinking on how it'd do with all the other fish around. Would putting it tin first help it? Or is it going to get beaten up eventualy?

 

[saltn00b]

no gurantee with the anthias. some are supposed to be nice, but i had a pink square that thought it weas a grouper. maybe in a school, they will keep to themselves.
i have no experience with triggers besides reading on the board that they can be aggressive. on the plus side, i have seen many BFs in FO tanks with some meaner fish types, so maybe they are ignored by many fish. i would wait for some more opinions.

 

[mike22cha]

Yeah I have seen lots of butterfly's in FO's so I'm interested in hearing more opinions too.
The triggers are aggressive, but bluejaw's are some of the more peaceful triggers.

Well today my mom randomly decided that we'll move the tank when my dad gets back in 3 weeks.

 

[mike22cha]

Well I was thinking of the stock list, and I really like the pair of triggers idea.
And any more input on if the butterfly will get picked on would be appreciated. I was thinking of maybe getting a butterfly a week before I move the aquarium, take out the rock in my 10g, and "QTing" the butterfly in my 10g. The reason I'd do that is so that the buttefly may have some more sucess with the apitasia on my clam. Opions? I'm going to get another peppermint shrimp soon and if that does the trick then I'll just wait for the 125g to be settled down before I get the butterfly.
And would a longhorn cowfish be ok in a 125g?
Here's a new stocklist I thought of:
-Porcupine Puffer
-Juv. Emperor Angel
-Pair of Blue Throat Triggerfish
-Pair of Maroon Clownfish
-Copperband Butterfly fish
-Longhorn Cowfish (or any kind of cowfish if any could fit in my 125g)
-Yellow Tang
-Powder Brown Tang
Would that be too much?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
