75 gallon tank stocking ideas

[fairl80z]

I'm thinking of starting up a new 75 gallon tank with 20 gallon sump
Would this stocking list be fine ?
Pair of ocelleris clowns
Yellow tang
Flame angel or cherub angel
6 line wrasse
A Midas blenny
I will keep coral in the tank and I am aware of the Angels may nip at corals. I am willing to take that chance
Will these be okay ? Not overstocked ? Help please. Thanks

Truthfully, I'd say you can add a little more. I'd get rid of the six line, they're holy terrors even in large tanks.
Add a flasher or a fairy wrasse.
And then, after you take out the six line, add another flasher. If you have two flasher wrasses they'll "flash" each other and will look awesome while doing it.

I recommend dropping the Yellow Tang (needs 5ft tank or bigger) and dropping the 6 line wrasse as they can become very aggressive. If you decide to get the wrasse it should be the last fish added behind the Flame Angel. You might can get away with a Kole or Tomini Tang, but that is still pushing it.

Thanks for the advice . So this wouldn't be overstocked ? I plan to have a mixed reef , so a little of everything

No you won't be overstocked.

Great I will end up most likely getting a tomini tang . Just because of the 4 foot stance of the tank

Like I mentioned earlier, that can be hit or miss also. Just have to be careful and watchful. I recommend adding it last.

I would get a one spot foxface instead of a tang. hardy fish that's peaceful, eats anything and keeps algae in check.

I will toss the flame angel , I just went trough hell with one of them , you may be lucky that it won't pick on your corals, I wasn't , finally got read of it, corals happy!!

Any other ideas on a dwarf angel ? Anything besides a coral beauty . I recently had one get eaten by a star fish haha. I'm really looking for some color.

sorry to confuse the issue, but opinions are just that, opinion!! i would skip the tomini and get the yellow tang, tomini tangs can be very mean to fish that a yellow would ignore! as a single tang, yellows do very well and are general only aggressive with other tangs.

I was just worried about being flamed for keeping one in a 75. Haha!

wrasse wise I would skip the six line and do a vrolik's wrasse. If you don't get a flame angel I would also add a red flasher wrasse.
