how much is too much?

[LParker480]

I've got a 125g tank I'm looking to stock here pretty soon. I'd like to fill it with a goby, a couple clowns, couple dwarf angels, and tangs. As long as they can all play and are compatible, how many you have in a tank? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Tell us more about the tank.
Sump?
Coral?
Skimmer? What size?

Tangs can get pretty big. I had a 125 with 8 fish with a medium sized sailfin without any problems. Have a really good high quality skimmer and do your water changes religiously and 8 fish would be fine. Have fun but don't overstock or buy on impulse. Research all fish before buying. [emoji225]

Each tank is different as far as stocking capacity. Add slowly and test often.

I've got a 55g sump and Coralife skimmer rated for 220g. I'm not sure on the corals as I've never ventured that road before...maybe start with something small and easy and let the addiction aspire from there.

If you plan on doing coral i would stay away from the dwarf angels.

I don't necessarily plan on it, but I can see the hobby consuming me. My tank build is in my man cave bar room so I'm excited and anxious as football season is amongst us! Started building in Feb and pretty close to being ready. just now sure how or what I want to stock it with just yet.
