    Hey everybody :) Probably within a year I will be moving, in which case I will be upgrading from my 75G to a 125-150G. Heres my wishlist for the tank.....

    1x majestic angel
    1x schooling heniochus butterfly
    1x hippo tang
    1x longnose butterfly
    1x flame angel
    1x coral beauty angel
    1x goldrim/whitecheek tang
    + all of the fish in my signature.........
    Yes, this tank will be a reef, with LPS and softies ( and maybe some SPS )
    What is your opinion on this stocklist? thanks!

    Majestic-No not a large enough tank
    Heniochis-Not reef safe
    Hippo Tang-I wouldn't; tank is kinda small and these fish are prone to Ich especially in small tanks
    Longnose Butterfly-While relatively hardy they can be hard to acclimate onto prepared foods.Need peacful tankmates.
    Flame Angel-May nip corals.
    Coral Beauty-May nip corals and clams would probably become lunch.
    Whitecheek Tang-Aggresive to other Tangs.

    Thank you very much for your input:) For the heniochus 'fly im going to be going with the schooling one ( Heniochus diphreutes ), which are reported to be planktivores, making them virtually 100% reef safe. I would be adding the tangs at the same time, therefore reducing any potential aggression. Im also aware of the risks Id be taking by adding the coral beauty, flame, and longnose to my reef tank. As far as the majestic, the largest size they could obtain would be a foot long, and are noted to be more peaceful, reef safe and not nearly as active as some of the other larger angels. :)

    Too small for a hippo tang, if you want two tangs try a smaller one. The majestic angelfish get's about 10 inches or so, but even then it could outgrow your tank. I don't know how fast they grow, if they take a really long time you could get a small one and upgrade to a larger tank.
