    Sure that will work--just remember only 1 angel of any kind in a tank that size!! P.S. You will love your goby!!

    I would do a kole in a 75. The blue or hepatus or regal tang or Dory whatever you call it gets BIG, can be tough to keep,and is very sensitive to ick, velvet and HLLE.

    I would go with a kole, a dwarf angel, a goby of some sort and a few ditherfish like chromis or the like.

    Remember 75 ISN'T really all that much room when these fish get bigger, and more territorial.
    Wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up the Marine Fish Pocket Book by Scott Michael

    Good luck

    Oh and I don't mean to rain on your parade!

    If you want two tangs in that tank go for it you will be fine. I personally have 4 in my 72 and all is well. Keep in mind over the course of time (maybe years) you will need to upgrade to keep them or trade them in.
