Hello everyone I have a 300 gallon tank With 6 damsels, 8 inch blonde Naso Tang, 2 inch maroon clown, 4 inch tusk, 2 inch black back butterfly, and a 5 inch Annularis Angel fish. How many more untill its an established tank? What should i get next? I would like to add a show size Grey Angel in the 10-12 inch range what do you guys think? Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why a grey angel? I would much prefer a french angel if you are looking for a large show piece.
Anyway, if you share your filtration then it would be easier to suggest a stocking limit to your tank.
BTW, in looking at your stock list, I notice that you don't have much blue or yellow... two important colors for a saltwater tank. You have a great tank for tangs... yellows, hippo, powder blue. Or you could do a foxface. There are some very nice, large blue wrasses. JMO

well i want a grey Angel cause my background is black. I wont be able to see a french angel as good cause hes a dark fish. Yeah my dad keeps telling me i need a yellow fish but everyone has a yellow tang! haha i would love to have a show size imperator but chances are he wont eat! I got a sump filteration with a little giant pump with a inside the sump protein skimmer. I WANT TO GET RID OF MY DOMINO DAMSELS! THEY ARE SO MEAN! They beat up my black back poor guy hes a strong fish though. I want to ask you guys a question? Do you ever wonder why you do this for a hobby? I mean i love the fish so much but gosh darn its so expensive!!!!!!! 300 gallon tank = atleast couple thousand! Dont you just hate it when friends and family come over and ask you oh how much that fish cost? And you tell them and they look at you like your crazy!!!!! ahhhh whatever i had a little much to drink but i congratulate all you guys that are doing this hobby with me its not easy! and not cheap! Its okay though were not alone

I know color is really important but really its survival rate to me. the weakest fish i have is the annularis and hes doing great! But i know what your saying i just heard hippos, powder blues are proned to ich!
