Hey guys. I have a 75 gal fowlr with lots live rock, refuge with chaeto and skimmer. I currently have 2 clowns, one sand sifter goby, and one blue hippo tang. I want to also add 3 anthias, 1 scopas tang and 1 flame angel. Will this be okay?

You will get mixed feelings on this. I think you are ok. You will want to feed the anthias a lot. I would wait to add the flame angel until the tank is quite established. Also, welcome.

Welcome Caleb and glad you are here and hope we can help

Looks viable stocking... but the Anthias will be a handful and please pay attention to their dietary needs...

Welcome to the forum!

I think the main struggle with anthias is that they often come with uronema. I would quarantine them prior. :)

Hippo and scopes will outgrow that tank really quick. Both those fish need at least a 180 gallon tank.

The other things you listed are fine for that size tank. Tangs you are pretty much limited to yellow or the bristletooth varieties. A foxface is another possibility that is tang like.

Your list is acceptable. Careful where you get your anthias as some can be susceptible to a condition known as Uronema. The tangs will be just fine, not Long term but fine in this tank.
