Thats way to many fish for a 75 gal. I wouldn't add any more, and take out the hippo tang you have unless you plan to upgrade soon. That leaves you 9 fish , more then enough.

with a 150 lbs of live rock in a 75 gal tank is there any room for all those fish to swim. I think you are way over stocked.

I'm one of those that believe a tang doesn't belong in a 75g, no matter what type it is. Does that make me a member of the tang police?
Anyway, it already sounds like you're looking for someone to say that it's ok for you to have tangs in there so you can rationalize keeping them. 90% of the answers you'll get will be that they don't belong in there and the other 10% will be people who try the same thing and want to rationalize their own misguided decisions.

+1 to renogaw and m0nk, I have a75G and a 55G and I do't even think of adding fish that don't belong in my size tanks. You can try to think it is OK because it is small, but the truth of it is they shouldn't be there. That's like sticking a baby cat in a 10G tank and saying it is OK because it is alive and growing. It's not, Animals will survive in inadequate surroundings because their instinct to survive drives them to eat and try to live, but they are nowhere near happy. Let's stick him in a 5'X5' room he will be fine.

you asked for attention and what ppl think right..? well... your tank is overstocked! a 75g is not large enough for even 1 tang expecially with that much LR in it. even if the tang is tiny now it will not be for long! you are calling ppl you asked for advice ignorant but have you done any research about what is appropriate living conditions for tangs?

Why Do PeOple Type In RandoM Caps SomEtimes? It Looks HorriBle And Makes Me IgnoRe WhatEver They HAve To Say Because I JuSt Dont Feel LiKe ReAding It. Plus, It Takes LeSs Work To TypE NorMallY, So Why Not Do That?
but in regards to your post, I think once you take the tangs out, you have plenty of room to add other stuff. And personally, I agree, and don't see why you couldn't keep a baby hippo in there by itself if you had a plan to move it when it starts to outgrow the tank. In reference to the guy saying about the growing animals thing: I would have had plenty of room to move in a 5X5 room when I was a toddler, but now I'm over 5 feet tall and it no longer fits, so thats why my room is 12X12. Fish are the same way. NO aquarium is "big enough" unless you're talking about a goby or jawfish or somethign that literally doesn't move, ever. So you've got a 3000 gallon tank, awsome! Think tangs swim back and forth between a 10 foot (or however big a 3000G tank would be) area in the ocean? no. they don't. Neither do any other fish.
However, I have absoultely NO moral qualm about "penning in" a fish for my own personal satisfaction and enjoyment. The fish has no mental capacity for feelings, only for having needs being met, and therfore I supply my fish with a meaning of exhistance. They can eat, they can swim around (to an extent), and they can hide in the rocks when they feel threatened. Thats the best I can do, and I feel fine with that. I don't care about my fish's "quality of life", I'll be honest. I can look at my tank, see that it's "big enough" for the fish i CURRENTLY have in there, and sit down and watch them for an hour each day.
i would type more but i just realized I wasted 5 minutes of my life. im gonna go play xbox. theres tons of noobs that need pwning on call of duty 4. have a nice day

It's coming true!!
and even though it will never be as big as the ocean, at least give it proper HOME aquarium circumstances... grow up.
