WHAT DO YOU THINK? I have a 125g Fish Only tank with 80lbs of live rock, 2.5 inches of coral sand,fluidized filter, berlin turbo skimmer, fluval 403 w/black diamond carbon, UV sterilizer and some additional aeration. In the tank are the following fish: emperor and flame angel, flame and falco hawks, sohal, yellow and hippo tangs, heniochus(banner) butterfly, a maroon clown, royal gramma and 3 chromis. Tank has been up for
2 1/2 years and all is well with all water parameters testing fine. At full adult size, the gallons per inch w/b 1.6. Some say that it's ok while others say I must de-populate. Your opinions w/b appreciated.

All fish except the Sohal have been in the tank for 2 1/2 years. There all doing fine. It's the future which is of concern. I just removed the maroon clown because he was being very agressive towards all especially the emperor. Imagine that this 3 1/2 inch clown chasing the 6 inch emperor. Incredable but true. He's now in a 55g with a powder blue. They seem to be getting along fine. Iwill be removing one of the three tangs in the near future and see how it goes from there. Will keep you posted. Would anyone else like to state their opinions? It would be very appreciated and welcomed. Thanks.

You will need to upgrade to accommodate for the emperor. If you are moving one tang your only big problem would be the emperor. I hop eyou are not planning on keepiong the powder in a 55 for long.
