Thanks for the reply. 75 gallon for now. Will change to at least a 125 soon. As far as other fish...Marine Beta, Sail fin tang, Naso tang, 3 Firefish, Lemon Peel Angel, Emporer Angel, Blue Hippo Tang, Royal Gramma, Pseudo Cromis. I know that you are not supposed to put other angels together but so far I am having great success with that. So what do you think of the fish mates.

IMO, a 125 will not be anywhere near large enough for keeping this fish long term.
If you have the ability to get a much larger tank, then I would wait until you get that system before getting the fish. Each tank move means more stress, and odds of losing the fish.
IMO, your 75 gallon tanks is extremely overstocked and I definitely would not add an angel. It is overstocked for a 125
I feel you are at the stocking level of a 250g, right now. The naso and other large tangs alone...This is, BTW, my opinion based on experience.
I am assuming since you asked, you actually wanted opinions and advice, not just a green light.

Totally agreed.
I've seen French angels in the wild, and frankly, they get HUGE!! I've also had the sad experience of seeing one in a rather sizeable but disproporationate tank (only about 6-7' wide). That poor thing looked absolutely miserable. When I commented to the owner of the store about the fish being where she was...thank goodness, he said that she was headed to a public aquarium the following week...well, ok then.
She was successfully moved the following week.
