Two dwarf angels in 150 gallon?

So I have a 150 gallon tank 60x24x24. It's not set up yet, but will be within the next few months, I'm working on getting a stand and canopy built for it right now. Right now I have a 60 gallon with the current livestock that will be transferred over to the 150.

1 yellow tang 3"
1 blue regal tang 3"
2 Ocellaris clowns
1 blue/green chromis
1 purple firefish
1 Banggai Cardinal

I'm looking for a couple more "show fish" for the 150 gallon tank once it's set up. I was thinking about adding a Potters Angel, and a Flame Angel. Do you think my tank is big enough to curb aggression issues between the two angels, or am I better off just sticking with one Dwarf Angel? I would add both angels at the same time. Looking for opinions with people that have experience with keeping multiple dwarfs.
 
I have 2 in my 120 and they are fine. And I plan on adding a flame and maybe another potters or flamback...

As for aggression Id think adding smaller less aggressive species first would help. Also TONS of caves and lr to give each angel its own grazing turf. My potters had issues with my flameback for a day or so then they just decided to live in peace :) its funny though as the little flameback loves to taunt the potters and get chased around the tank because it knows its faster and more nimble. Kinda cute to watch how they interact .
 
You can do two dwarf angels in that size, yes. Allow yourself to separate them in QT and/or the introduction to the aquarium by acclimation box or egg crate. I have two Argi's in a 75, but I purchased mine as a bonded pair, so a little different. Give them plenty of hiding spots in QT as well.

you should be fine. just add them together like you said. you can probably do 3 with out major issues between them.
 
I have a lemonpeel and a bicolor in my 60"x24"x30" and they get along perfectly. Would like to add C. nox, a flame, and a coral beauty still.
 
Cool, glad to hear. I will add them at the same time and QT them in the same tank with some egg crate splitting the tank. That way they will be somewhat used to each other once I add them to the DT. I will definitely make sure there are plenty of caves and hiding places for them in the DT.
 
I have a pair of Singapore Angels in my 115, they get along just fine.I introduced them at the same time.

I had a lemonpeel and coral beauty in my 150 with no aggression, had to move the lemonpeel due to coral nipping.
