So I am new to this forum and this is my first post so HI! I am getting a 125 gallon reef tank set up. I am thinking of stocking the tank and I really want a blue hippo tang but I have read that they should have a 240 gallon tank minimum. How long would it take a very small juvie to grow too large for my 125? I will have about 170lbs of live rock between the display and sump, and the aquascape will be more or less three seperate structures for open swim space. My upgrade will be about three or so years from now after I move for college. Will this be too long?
I am thinking this but want to switch the convict tang out for the hippo if possible.
-Pair of Clowns
-3 Red Tail Flasher Wrasses
-3 Orange Back Fairy Wrasses
-Randall's Shrimp Goby w/Pistol added with Tribal Blenny
-Green Mandarin Dragonet(willing to drag out adding this 8-9months after cycle)
-1 Azure, 1 Blue Devil, and 1 Yellow Tail Damsel
-1 Convict Tang
-1 Purple Tang(going to save up for it)
