Getting my new 180 set up in a couple weeks, would like some opinions on my fish list please.=) My 180 will have roughly 150lbs of live rock and pukani rock. A five foot sump no idea on gallons. reef dynamics ins 150 or a octo 6, have both so whichever performs better. The list.. 2 occell clowns, 2 pajama cardinals, 2 green chromis, 2 fire fish, 4 lyretail anthis 3 female 1 male, 1 mimic yellow peel tang, 1 hippo tang, and a kole tang. 15 fish seems alot to me, but never owned a tank this big. lol. Main question will those 3 tangs work? Thanks for any input.
 
Compared to me you are way understocked, lol. Most of what you have stays small and the three tangs will get along fine. If you want to add anything else I would think about a dwarf angel and/or pair of flasher or fairy wrasses. I have a SPS tank with very good parameters and here is my fish list for comparison:

Majestic Angel
Blueline Angel
Flame Angel
Purple tang
Sailfin tang
Mimic tang
Pair of Rhomboid wrasses
Pair of Flame wrasses
pair of McCoskers flasher wrasses
Lineatus Wrasse
Pair of Red Mandarins

I don't recommend this many fish for everyone but I got lucky everything gets along. I also like doing water changes ;)

Your list sounds great to me, it should work well.
