75 gallon tank fish list - ideas on additions

[malawinovice]

75 reef with softies,

2 oc clowns
1 purple dotty back

desired additions:

Lepard wrasse -
blue tang
flame angel

I know about the flames rep, but had a coral beauty previously as a compromise to my reef, but the flame is just too alluring and I want it.

Had a lepard before and it is a great fish, a overnite power outage and he was gone along with the coral beauty.

Blue tang -- too big for 75 reef?

any recs?
thanks

If you want the flame, i say try it!

 

[malawinovice]

I will do the flame angel.

Any ideas on a nice blue reef fish, I am concerned the blue tang and how fast it grows.

I upgraded from 40 breeder to 75 gallon last may 2009. I made myself promise no larger tanks for a full year.

Like you thought, the "blue tang" will get too big for a 75, and best left off your list.

For a blue fish..

azure damsel

or
Blue Sapphire Damselfish

Do I get one hippo tang

or 3 azure damels?

Zero "hippo" (( Paracanthurus hepatus )), tangs, it just gets too big for that sized tank.
