I am running a 125g FOWLR and have two Seachem Tidal 110 HOB filters.I have live rock in both filters, the media bag they each came with, carbon in one filter and a zeolite/carbon mix in the other filter. Both also have filter floss.

This is what my goal is for stocking, they one thing I have so far are the two clown fish.

Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
Bluehead Fairy Wrasse
Multicolor Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse
Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse
Coral Beauty Angelfish
Orange Butterflyfish
Auriga Butterflyfish
Pair of Spotted Watchman Goby


Is what I have sufficient enough or should I be doing something else with my current setup to optimize filtration?
 
Honestly I’d go for a Fluval FX6. Great canister filter. I run it on my 125 fowlr and love it. I’m not so sure the Hob’s can handle the bio-load once the tank is fully stocked.
We all set livestock limits and we RARELY stick to it! Lol better over filter then under in my opinion. Good luck.
 
I run 2 Eheim 2217 on 125 for 30 years, Supper efficient lots of space and super quiet in my Bedroom setup.
