Hey guys ! I have my 175 that has been running for about 2 1/2 months. It has 90 lbs of live rock from an old 75 that was running for a year and I added another 150 lbs of rock,when the tank first started. I have a skimmer,UV,Fluidized bed and a refugium for filteration. Right now I have two clowns and a blue hippo,they are doing great. I would like to get three more tangs in the future- 2 Yellows and 1 Purple along with a small Lion fish, a puffer and I'll add two angels together last- a Queen and Emperor. I was wondering if I can add a green bird wrasse right now to the crew-? I checked out one,about 6 inches long at my LFS, and its beautiful, and swimming very fast. Anyhelp would be great, thanks guys !

watch out on the tangs. yellows for instance if you add 1 your fine 2 they figt 3 or more and you will be alright it spreads out the aggression. Sine tangs fight simliar color and body shape. is this a reef tank or a fish only setup? if its a reef I say pass on the wrasse if not your probably going to be alright.
a few things to think about.

one thing you are going to have a problem with that just came to mind is with al those tangs you might have a problem with ich. do you have a QT tank setup for new arrivals?

Yes, I do have a QT setup for ich, thanks. I was wondering, do you think the green bird wrasse would mess around with my two perculas -? They are about 3 inches each.

There is always a chance the bird wrasse could kill them yes, there is no guarantee, But because the clowns are already established, I think you will be OK, I would not attempt to add smaller fish after the bird wrasse is established.
