And any other SPS I find that I like and I can take care of
 
Only thing i see is the two dwarf angels, they would probably fight. the tangs might be pushing it, but i think it would be alright.
 
I think it is eight great tomatoes in an itty bitty can (sorry contadina). The clowns will become incredibly aggressive, and I do not recommend three tangs in a 135.
 
If the dwarf angels dont play nice with each other then I have a tank I can put them in temperary or maybe even long term. I know the clowns will get aggressive I have them now and dont even look at my chromises which would definitly lose the fight if there is one.And not to be rude but all of you keep saying 2 dwarf angels I listed 3(venustus,flame,potters or black nox). I will use breeder boxes or critter containers when intriducing them to see how the start getting along and then realese them and if the dont get along as I said in a sentence before I have a tank I can put them in, but if it is most likely going to end in disaster with the species I want then I will not do it.
 
Don't even try it with the dwarfs. I have a black nox, it's afraid of everything that moves in my room, i introduced a flame, and it became rambo.
 
If you know what you are doing they can be great, you have to make sure your tank is mature, and you have suitable lighting and flow, but they do get to be MASSIVE
 
With an S. haddoni, it is a matter of "when" and not "if" for it to eat a fish. Been keeping them for the last 15 years or so, and I am getting closer to thinking about only keeping them in a species only tank (( with a pair of clowns )).

Also, IME, S. haddonis don't mix well with E. quadricolors, they don't seem to stay settled in, even with running carbon.

Lastly, you have picked 2 dwarf angels that can be difficult to keep, if you haven't keep dwarf angels before would recommend starting off with some other ones. Also, Potter's tend to prefer cooler tanks.
 
I have had lots of friends that have put a carpet in their tank only to have it eat either the fish they placed in the tank at the same time (in the QT) or one of their established fish when they finally get it in the tank.

Which angel is hard to care for besides venustus.
 
I've kept Potters successfully in regular temps for reefs. They are actually very hardy once you have them acclimated and I've never had problems with corals and them.
 
potter's angels are very shy and should really not be kept with other dwarf angels due to harassment. they succumb to stress very easily.
