The Angels in the TOTM are in no comparison, in regards to aggression, to the list given above.

How long have you had you 190 up and running? The Angels you have are beautiful, but are certainly not Holacanthus in terms of aggression.

Just my HO

Hi, I have had the 190 up for about 5 months. Lesley
 
Well ok, the success of your tank is very dependant on the order you put the fish into the tank.

1st option: depending on aggressiveness
first off all lights then put 1 each day or 12 hours
first put
1 8" Emperor Angel
1 4-6" Conspiculatus Angel
1 7" Chrysurus Angel
1 7.5" Queen Angel
1 9" Blue Face Angel
1 8.5" Annularis Angel
1 10" Blue Line Angel

option 2: base on size
put an hour a part
smallest to biggest

option 3:Off all lights and put all at once

option 4: do anything you want

the order of the options are from the best to the worst.

I think your order of introduction, and more importantly rate of introduction will depend largely on two things, in my opinion:

1. The "life support" system for the tank, and the contingencies available to you should things not work out as planned

2. The size of the fish

Since you largely know most of the details which will effect these variables, then you are half way there. You have the fish in "holding tanks" already - which means to say you good mature filters and water already, and you have the facilities to isolate ALL of them, if need be.

So this largely lets the question of how you are looking to set up the "system". i.e. is it fowlr or something like wet/dry filter? Skimmer? How mature will the system be, or indeed the components that make it up?

I think the ideal solution is to introduce everything at the same time...... or similar to the steps set out in JazzZero's reply..... but the details of the system will gouvern how feasible that is, in my view.....
