These fish would outgrow a 75g, IMO.

peaceful...FOWLR...scratch the triggers and hawkfish. are you planning LR only? if you want any inverts, like various snails and hermits, scratch the butterfly...
IMHO, 75g is to small for a yellow tang.

cheers

If this was my 75 gal. I'd make sure there are plenty of hiding spots.
Fish:
1 Regal Blue(sm.)
1 Yellow or Sailfin tang(sm.)
1 Percula Clown
1-2 Goby or Blenny
1 coral beauty or Bicolor
"NO TRIGGERS AT ALL, THEY WILL KILL AND EAT EVERYONE"lol
(Try to have only one of each type, and get them as small as you can but same sizes for tangs)
Inverts:
2 cleaner shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp
1 starfish
and a bunch of snails & crabs (assorted types)

tarhull87,
i'm about to put together my stocking list for my new 75g FOWLR and have pretty much the same wish list! Tangs, Butterflys, clowns, angels, and triggers. I have read some good stuff about the Humu Trigger, so it might not be a definite no-no.
I'm curious to the responses you get and how it works out!

Its tough isn't it bheron. I don't want to have any fish killed or nibbled on, but I also want to have all the fish on my list.
Definitely want the school of fish, and a tang and trigger.

yes! now that I started researching it seems like there arent ANY fish you can keep together and they all die! I know that's an exaggeration but it really seems tough out there!

so jwtrojan44, is the Humu/Picasso that aggresive? I read up on it (eg Conscientous Marine Aquarist) and found they can be quite peaceful?

Is this
Humma
Niger
Hawaiin Puffer
Maroon Clown
Dwarf Lion
Flame Hawk
Yellow Tang
Snowflake Eel
too much for a 75? A 90 is the same size as 75 just 4 inches taller if its a rectangle.. Does it make that much difference?

tarhull87- I don't mean to beat you on the head, but out of that list I believe only a couple of the fish will remain under 4inches. When making a wish list you really need to look at the adult size of the fish. Sorry but that is the only way not to overcrowd your tank. To answer your question about the 90 and 75, there isn't that much difference. Infact I wouldn't put anymore fish in a 90 gal than in a 75 for the simple fact that most 90gal tanks are just taller than the 75s. Not enough CO2 burnoff unless you use a lot of powerheads. Hope this helps. Remeber, though it is your tank and your choice. Your on the right track in researching, but take it slow and you don't want to add all those fish at once.
Just a couple of dimensions that I know about the fish you listed,
Humma about 7-12 Inches
Niger about 7-12 Inches
Hawaiin Puffer ? don't know, never had one
Maroon Clown about 6-8 Inches
Dwarf Lion ? don't know, never had one
Flame Hawk I'm guessing about 4 Inches
Yellow Tang don't know but they need lots of swimming room
Snowflake Eel We are talking Feet here!
Hope this helps and good luck!!
