Hello all, was looking for some recommendations to stock my 150g reef.Im looking for a tang gang and fish that will help keep the tank clean. Schooling fish except cardinals would be cool too/Below is the fish currently in tank.

Foxface, Rabbitfish, trigger fish, (2) naked clown fish, (2) storm fish, sailfin, and tomini tang

Can you also let me knowif a flamehawk can go in. I plan on getting a goby but waiting to tank mature a bit

What's a storm fish? triggerfish are meany going to be hard adding new fish. I recommend adding a wrasse. Earmuff wrasse or radiant wrasse are my favorites.
Likely storm clowns

I see triggers and sailfin as uninviting occupants. Kole tang will help with algae but has a slim chance of acceptance
Flame hawk can cohabitate if triggers are not jerks- What type of triggers?

My yellow is the best cleaner I’ve ever owned.
Does nothing but swim and peck.

Sailfin, Tomini, Foxface plusnone will likely keep algae away pretty well. You could add a second Zebrasoma but you may have agression issues at some point. My Convit tang (Acanthurus) is a workhorse on algae. People who have one will most all agree. Wrasse will be beneficial in hunting pests all day long if you want a fish with utility.
