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.

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?

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.
