I have a 75 gallon tank, 36 x 24 x 20 tall. I am going to go with smaller fish. I already have a scooter blenny in there. So what would you stock this tank with? It is going to be a mixed reef.
 
I have a pygmy cherub angel. He is small but very colorful and active.
Big and bad with an attitude on a tiny litltle fish, lol.

Im thinking 2 clowns, 2 bangai cardinals, and 3 redfirefish, and my scooter blenny I have. Am I at my limit, or can I still add a couple?
 
This is what I have in my 75 gallon tank: a pair of clown, flame wrasse, Melarunus wrasse, black tang, a pair of neon gold goby. I will be adding a pair of naoko wrasse in a month.
 
Im told not to put angels of any kind in a reef and 75 G is too small for tangs so your pretty limited to those small fish anyway.

Anyone know if a kole tang would be the "show fish" of a 75gallon or is a 75G too small?

All of the other suggestions look good (although im not sure what a "black tang" is.
 
skip the red fire fish and but purple one. And throw in a 2 spot blenny really fun to watch and good aglae eater in my nano
 
kole tank would be ok in a 75g could also go with a chevron tang but they tend to get a little less blue as they get older...check out some other species of wrasse also you may find something you like.

you can get away with a kole in a 75 ... tank size for them is 70 gallons .. the only reef safe angel really out there is a Japanese swallow tail which are really cool and reef safe .. a black tang is a 1000.00 fish and a 75 is way to small for one plus its a very hard fish to get cause they are seasonal ..
 
I have 2 bangi cardinals, 3 red firefish, and a scooter blenny. I am wanting to add 2 clowns, orange spotted goby, black combtooth blenny, and a flasher wrasse. WIll I be ok? Or is that too much?

I would probably just add the two clowns and one or two of the other fish. IMO, I think the tank is missing a larger fish.
