So I don't like crowding, here's my stock list, all around 5"+/-
yellow belly dogface puffer
harlequin tusk
majestic angel
orangeshoulder tang
pinktail trigger
pair of bluejaw triggers

I had planned for this to full, nut the tank is pretty boring, the most boring group of triggers I've ever had; I rarely see them. I only see the pinktail's nose or a glimpse of him behind the rocks. the bluejaw's hang out in the rocks or at the upstairs or downstairs opening of their two story condo. The tusk is a rock cruiser, which I really don't mind, it's kind of cool.

But all that open swimming space and mostly all I see is the puffer and the tang, and alot of the angel although he cruises the rock too.

So do you think it would be pushing it, if I added a scopas tank and a one spot foxface. I'd like an emporer angel but don't want to upset the majestic.

What do you think.
 
You can put a lot more fish in that tank, i recommend maybe a couple more tangs and some smaller schooling fish like anthers or chromis, gobies are nice too especially if you have sand.
 
The scopas should be fine.

A group of monos, pyramid butterflies, or fusiliers will add activity to the tank.
 
Went with a scopas tang and a one spot foxface. They are going into the display today. The foxface is so skiddish I was second quessing that decision, but the 2 bonded so well in qt I couldn't separate them. Here's a pic of the scopas which I think is a very nice one, theeir coloring varies greatly.
