Hello Everyone!

We have recently upgraded from a 29G biocube & 13G nano into a 125G (72x18x24).

I am wondering about our stocking. We combined the two tanks into the 125, and have since added five new fish. I am wanting thoughts/comments/experience on when to upgrade the 125, and how big to go.

Stocklist:
Fish:
Powder brown tang - 4"
Blue regal tang - 1.5"
Purple tang - 2"
Coral beauty
Yellow corris wrasse - juvenile
Black ocellaris - juvenile
Orange Ocellaris - juvenile
Royal gramma
Springeri damsel
Purple firefish
Tailspot blenny
Hifin shrimp goby
Tangoroa shrimp goby
Inverts:
Two emerald crabs
Cleaner shrimp
Two pistol shrimp (paired with the gobies)
Three sexy shrimp
Pencil urchin
Hermits
Snails
Two porcelain crabs (both live on the anemones)
Purple reef lobster
Starfish
Four anemones
MiniMaxi carpet
One head of frogspawn


**This will remain FOWLR; not getting into corals.

How long until we should upgrade? What size tank should we upgrade to?

Thanks!
 
A couple pics to get idea of the sizes.

Your Tangs are going to get too big, I would think about upgrading very soon especially with the PBT at 4" already The fact that the tank is 6' long is good because the tangs need roaming room. I've always wanted a 200gl+ size tank. Not sure if I'd add anything.
 
Thanks! That’s honestly what we thought too; needing to upgrade watching the powder brown in the tank. Would a 220 be adequate?
