Looks good. The tang will out grow the 58 though. And I hope those were not added all at once. Your water also looks a little dirty. What is your filtration? Biological?Chemical?Mechanical?

They were not added all at once. I added the two clowns in. Then 1 week later i added the flame angel. And i added the scopas tang and six line yesterday. My water is perfectly fine. A piece of LR fell and it took me forever to get it in place. I see what you mean with all the white particles floating around. Thehalide light makes u see them really easily and my camera is very sensitive to light so it is cleaner than it looks. I have a pro clear aquatics wet dry to filter and i am getting some Purigen in the mail today. And yes, i know the scopas tang will outgrow the tank in about a year and a half.

Wow dude, that is enough to fill a 150g.
Your Blue Hippo Tang, Scopas Tang,and Fiji Foxface will outgrow your current tank. Your parameters may be fine, but you need a bigger tank with the way you're buying your fish at that rate.

yeah you're tank is a little small for some of those fish. I think the amount of fish that you have is good because they are mostly small community fish.

You ever have one of those sores in your mouth, that you keep touching with your tongue all day? You know it is going to hurt, but you keep on doing it.......

Oops excuse me, it is his DAD that is buying all the fish for the tank.

Not barren with 11 fish, its more then enough in a 150 with lots of corals
To many fish and it can mess up the balance, not food for sps.

unfortunately the kid is in Fairfield County so money isn't an issue and there isn't much of a responsibility issue when that's the case :(

One week certainly is not enough time in between adding livestock. You should most likely wait almost a month with the bioload you already had prior to your latest additions. IMO you also shouldn't have 2 tangs in something that small and one of them shouldn't have been added at the same time as another fish. Have you done any QT on any of them? Have you been listening/reading the advice of others on this site?
Again, as with your other thread, you don't appear to want to listen to the advice that will save you heart-ache and money, but would rather only acknowledge the users who post positive feedback regarding your tank. This post is not meant to be a flame, but you really need to start paying attention to others on this site; it's probably the closest thing you'll get to expert advice in this hobby.

monk: just do what everone else is doing--shaking their heads in disgust because this kid isn't listening to anything.
LAXPLAYA take the tang back. what makes you think a scopas tang can live in the tank a yellow tang cant?
