Fish stocking question

Hey guys, need some realistic suggestions for stocking my 125 Gallon tank. It's presently a FOWLR tank that I'm going to start transforming into a reef tank.
I presently have the following livestock :
Sailfin Tang (+-5 inches)
Square back Anthias (+- 4inches, he was attacked/harassed by Sailfin and went to Fishy Heaven)
2 Clown fish (2-3 inches)
Royal Gramma (2 inches)
Regal Tang (3 inches)
2 Blue Chromis
Foxface (3 inches)
Clean up crew (Shrimp, snails, crabs, etc...)
What would be a logical addition seeing that the Sailfin is quite territorial...

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions

Well sadly, if your Sailfin is aggressive now, it might not accept any newcomers. This will be a good time to catch him the Hippo and get some store credit at your LFS, as they require an 8ft tank. Anyway them Tangs are going to be aggressive due to the lack of space and also competing with a 3rd herbivore, the Foxface.
