75gal. fish only tank suggestions wanted

[cslogan240]

I have a 75gal. fish only tank. Currently I have 1 lionfish, 1 grouper, 1 small blonde naso tang, 2 small yellow tangs, 25 turbo snails, and 2 purple urchins. I plan on gettin 10 more turbos, some hermit crabs, and a juvi emperor angel. I may also put some mushroom corals in too. Should I worry about anything with these fish. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you have a lot of worries with those fish.
What kind of lion do you have? If it is a volitan, it will easily outgrow your tank.
The naso needs more swimming room very soon, as the yellow tangs will need more room in a very short time as well.
I would not even bother getting the imperator angel at this point because your tank is pretty stocked as it is. An imperator will quickly outgrow that tank as well.

WHOA... With what you have in the tank already, you have to much. That Lion is going to outgrow the tank all by itself.

I know what you guys are saying about the lionfish. He has grown a lot already. I will probably take him back to the fish store before I get the emporer angel. I only have 50lbs of live rock so right now the tangs have plenty of room to swim. Thanks for your feedback.

even without the lion you are over stocked allready

I agree.
Also, angels and tangs need a lot of live rock to graze on, as well as a lot of swimming room. This is why they need big tanks. They simply will not live very well very long in a 75 gallon tank.

Drawf angle MAX for that size tank!

cslogan240, do yourself a favor and go to this
Link to Fish Information. I know it's a store, but look up the fish you already have and (plan to get). They list a lot of important Specifications for each fish... one main spec is Minimum Tank Size. Take note of them.
Emporator Angel Minimum Tank Size: 150 gallons.
Please do more research before buying fish.

Also note to self. Certainly not your fault, but your LFS is bunch of bozo's for even selling you the fish. I know. They NEVER ask what size tank you have... or even if you have Salt Water.
I can at least say this about my LFS. When I bought a couple of clowns last weekend, the guy mentioned "If you are considering getting an anemone for these fish, be sure you have GOOD lighting and sand base." Turns out this was correct infomation. Then again, this was one guy, who knows what the next one would have said.

I don't know why you say this, volitan's do not swim much at all... they are basially floaters and don't require much room. HOWEVER it probably does make it difficult on the other fish?
Seriously, they don't really need that big of a tank. Just because they DO get big... doesn't mean so.
I had a volitan in my 55 when I was stationed on Okinawa for about a year before I let him go back into the ocean. It never had any problems. I caught it when it was about 6" long.
Speaking of volitan's, I saw one while diving on a reef one day that was about 18-20" long! It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw my 4 1/2 years there. It was just hovering in the middle of thousands of fish... It was pretty much the only fish you noticed.
I never saw one that big the rest of the time I was there. Prolly made close to 800 dives too.
