I'm worried about stress from too much water turbulence, and of course, salt creep.
The o2 level should be fine.....that many groupers with a measley ehiem is asking for trouble. With a tank like that you should have a couple filters that are rated 2x's the size of your tank. Or just do bi-monthly 30% water changes....
