I have an 80 gallon fowlr and I do not thin I am going to keep the lunare wrasse and the sailfin tang because they get too big. I would keep my flame angel and my sf eel any stocking suggestions? I am looking for more pricy fish with more color and personality. But any price is good for me.
Gimme some ideas!

that would be a 60gal. (48*24*12*0.00434=60). i wouldn't put a tang in that small of a tank, and i think your list should be more conservative anyway.

i wouldn't put a tang in a 75 either. the tusk will get about 6", so will the lion. the eel will get 30" and the angel will be about 4". the tusk, lion, and eel will be very messy fish. i definately wouldn't do any more than this, and i would also go bare bottom with heavy skimming. the tusk will need a cave of rockwork.
these are all very hardy fish, but very messy. a 75 gal might be pushing it.

You can put some of the smaller butterflies in there, a royal gramma, some type of fairy wrasse like a flasher wrasse. I have had some luck putting a lemonpeel angelfish in with a flame angel but they were put in at the same time. Lesley

When asking for suggestions you will get some that you don't like. You can get a fuzzy for a 75. You could also get a dwarf angel, a wrassie, or other smaller sized fish.
