Looks good. Just be cautious about Scotts fairy wrasse. They have a reputation of being aggressive towards other wrasses even in larger systems.

With such a large stocking list a fish trap might definitely come in handy if one of the fish ends up being a jerk and needs to be removed. Lol

I'd skip the hippo and naso tangs, and the emp. IMO just too big and awkward for a 180. For angels, check out Chaetodontoplus and Apolemichthys species. Maybe even a regal?

For tangs, how about a Ctenochaetus or Zebrasoma species?

 

[Brando457]

I really like the hippo tang, I could do without the naso though.

Is it possible to keep multiple angels in a 180?
The Scribbled Angelfish is very nice!

 

[Brando457]

I should mention my display has 1 large pillar, and 2 smaller caves with lots of swimming room. My fuge on the other hand is packed full of rock.

I would not get a naso.A regal tang should be fine.

Maybe a flagfin angelfish?A goldflakes?Even a regal angelfisj.

 

[Brando457]

I would like a regal, but I heard they are super difficult to keep.

 

[SDguy]

They can be... if you're a novice angel keeper, then I'd pass for something easier. Still plenty to choose from.

 

[Brando457]

Only angels I've kept are a coral beauty years ago and a flame angel that died in my tank crash.

Oh and the glass ones my mom gave me for the china cabinet KIDDING>

 

[CoralsAddiction]

Regal angels are awesome especially if you can find one with yellow belly from Red Sea or Indian Ocean. Trick is to get them eating and provide a safe environment...like with all other fish. Lol

Going back to the wrasses a moment. Labouti wrasses also have a reputation for being aggressive toward other fairy wrasses, but adding after the others and using an acclimation box it should work.

Yeah, especially masked swallowtails are awesome.

 

[kw22]

I wouldn't look past any of the genicanthus.
