Recently purchased a 75 gallon saltwater tank.
Thinking about this stock list:
yellow tang
marroon clown
damsel
flame angel
naso tang
bluethroat trigger
emperor angel/ blue face angel
how does this sound? any suggestions?

Scratch the Naso and the Emperor/Blueface.
You will need a 125 (6ft.) minimum for the stocklist you have above

You could definitely get a butterfly. I would reccomend a Pakistan or a Raccoon. Butterflys and hardiness are like cheap mercedes...they are hard to come by.

yes i know. But they are fairly slow growers.
Saltman - I have had my Emperor since he was 2". He is now 9". This has been little over 3 years. I can tell you right now he would have trouble being QT'd in a 75.
They are not slow growers. They will be very aggressive in a 75 as a juvie. I started with mine in one and moved him in less than 8 months.

I would also worry about a Yellow in a 75g, they get quiet territorial and small qtrs may make for problems.

The yellow tang should be placed in last. i found this out the hard way.
Just added a new one the other day and there are no problems, as he is the last addition.

It will more than likely become very agressive to newcomers. I broke this tension by putting a small mirror on the glass to distract the tang for a day or so, this allowed the new fish to get used to it's new surroundings.

ya, thats a good idea with the mirror. I have been adding new fish, not a problem with aggresion with the tang. the tang is huge. prolly around 5 inches. i have more of a problem with the damsel which is a pain to newcomers.
