I have a 125 gal with a 33 long sump/refugium and a super reef octopus skimmer rated for 250 gal. this tank has about 130-140 LBS of live rock.

this is going to be a FOWLR tank with a lobster

I have compiled the following stocking list and would like some input...

emporer angelfish (max size 15")
clearfin lionfish (max size 10")
lemonpeal angelfish (max size 6")
purple tang (max size 10")
2 maroon clowns (max size 6")
1 blue spiny lobster (max size 15")

I was considering at least one more angel or a butterfly fish if anyone could offer recommendations that will work. brilliantly colored fish moderately easy to care for fish would be preferable.

does this sound like a list that would work?

The emperor will outgrow your tank. They get huge. Butterflies would be good. Im partial to copperband(they can be tricky eaters), longnose, and heniochus

I can rehome the emperor if it comes to that but I am setting the tank up for my parents and the emperor is the one thing my mother will not budge on. Once he no longer has his juvenile pattern/coloration he will not be appealing to her anyway.
