    So, change of plans for my 125g! It is not going to be a FOWLR anymore. I have decided to stop worrying about ich and make this tank a full-blown reef. ;D Currently the tank is (almost) in hypo conditions to rid the ich parasite that I think is in there, LOL (no coral yet). I hope to get a lot more base rock soon, and then it will really start to look nice. I will begin to stock coral after my treatment is done, which I am really excited about because I have a newly found, great LFS with a lot of coral (and I just want to finally get coral for this tank, LOL). Currently I have:
    1. McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
    2. Linespot Flasher Wrasse
    3. Scopas Tang
    4. Blue Hippo Tang
    5. Lawnmower Blenny
    6. Ocellaris Clownfish

    I want to eventually add a Lamarck's Angel, a small school of Squareback Anthias, and a Yellow Tang.

    Thanks for reading!

    What type of lighting are you using? Sounds like you already have a decent amount of bioload, adding more tangs and anthias in a tank that size probably isn't a good idea imho

    +1. That could be too many. Especially with three tangs. What do you have adding oxygen to the water? Also, since you want to add corals, you don't want to make it a constant fight to keep the water quality high.

    I'm following along. I would probably add coral before adding more fish. It will help your tank look more "alive" lol.
