It's too soon. I know how hard it is too resist buying a new fish but really none of Centropyge angels should be added to a new tank. These fish graze on all the things that take don;t really get established for months to >1yr. I know from experience.
Your pushing your bioload already in a 30 with only 44 lbs of LR. I would use the money you would spend on the fish and buy more LR.
good luck

I'm doing it, although most will advise not to.
I have a 29g with 2 angels, and about a dozen fish total. I just make sure to add seaweed sheets for the angels and others to peck at throughout the day along with a varied diet of ocean nutrition products and mysis.

My angels never fight! I had the coral beauty for about 8 months the added the lemonpeel which was larger. Been a while now and no aggresion whatsoever.
My water is perfect, I check it twice a week and I've never had a problem with anything.
I also have 30 hermits, 30 snails, 3 emeralds, 4 pep shrimp, 3 feather dusters and many soft and lps corals.
Here's some pics:

Oh, I also have a 10 gal fuge with 10 lbs of live rock and lots of chaeto, and I run a canister filter with chemi-pure and black diamond.
I think that both contribute to the overall health of my tank.
I have never lost a fish or invert yet in this tank.

130w of PC now, but I just ordered HO T5's (4x 39w). I think I may use both the T5's and PC's together on there if it'll fit. So I'll be at about 290w, so 10w per gallon...
Ha, as for the fish good choice! I chose them because of color, personality and the fact that they are usually non-aggresive towards others.

No anemones, not enough light but I do have lots of zoos, button polyps, xenia, kenya tree, frogspawn, 3 types of mushrooms, green star polyps and some others.

is the tank 5 weeks after the cycle or including the cycle? if you wait a couple of months your chances of success will skyrocket, but it isn't impossible to keep one now.
