I have a 125g tank that is currently running well. I have about 110 lbs of live rock- I might add more and 100lbs of sand. Currently I have 3 pijama cardinals, a snowflake eel and a huma huma trigger. They are all small at this point so I plan on having them for at least a few years. I need help though with the different fish I am considering for the future, any help would be appreciated!

Different Fish i'm considering: I plan on gettting all of these relatively small
-Porcupine or Dogface puffer
-Koran/other large angel(any that would work better??) or a flame and lemon peel angel
-Power blue tang
-Foxface
-Banana wrasse or Red Corris Wrasse or Harlequin Tusk or Maybe dragon wrasse

I would love to get one in each of these categories but thats probably a little overkill? What do you think?

Thanks alot

It was probably me if your thinking about the Puffer and I still would not agree with putting a puffer in a 125G tank. Maybe if it is the only fish in the tank a porcupine would be ok for a few years, but with a trigger and/or foxface, my opinion is no way on the puffer. Predator tanks need to be BIG, ie, 300G+ at the very smallest in order to house multiple predator/large fish. The other fish, foxface, tang, wrasses, would all be fine together. Huma Huma may develop issues down the road... it is the puffer (and a lionfish would do the same) that makes me cringe. JMHO of course.
 
bottom fish Like gobys that's about all i would do. unless eels will eat them then i wouldn't add anything else haha
 
and unerving, I think I was going off of what Ace had told me, 100g is too small for both a porcupine and dogface. Maybe one of them for a little while but def not fully grown. I didn't really go into detail, sorry about that.

And I also agree that what I have listed here is definitly overstocking, I'm just trying to list my options and figure out what would be good or bad to keep.
 
I think even a 125G is pushing the limits of "too small" for even 2 Dwarf angels.. it may work out.. or may not.. that would be a gamble in my book if they will fight and one kill the other, although no issue at all with 1 dwarf angel.. a regular size angel (Koran), like Amph stated, would not be the best idea in that size tank. There are a ton of great looking dwarf angels out there that run the full range of prices from $20 (Cherub Pygmy) to $2000 (Clarion). I still like the Potter's Angel the best out of the Dwarfs, although the Golden angel I think looks better than the potters, just not a hardy fish for our hobby (deep water angel) .
 
You could get a pair of dwarf angles and avoid the (potential) problem all together.
