Need help with stocking

[geef64]

I recently bought a 75 gal saltwater setup with fish. We are trying to see if we can add any more or if we need to get rid of a few. The tank currently has

1 snowflake eel
1 naso tang
1 one spot foxface
1 yellow wrasse
1 saddled valentini puffer
1 yellow tail blue damsel
1 maroon clown
1 black clown

My wife would like to add a flame angel and/or lion fish

Any help is appreciated

Well make sure you have a very good skimmer. You need to get that junk out of the water. And note the Lion fish will eat anything it can get in its mouth i.e. your damsel, clowns etc.

The Naso tang needs a much better tank, at least twice as long as your current tank.

Would either get rid of the maroon clown or the black clown, and pair the remaining one up with the same species. Down the road I foresee the maroon taking out the black clown.

Do you plan on having any corals in this tank? Flame angels are hit or miss when it comes to eating/nipping at corals.

What species of lion fish? Some will get too big, and the ones that don't might have some issues with the puffer nipping at its fins.

You defiantly need to move the naso. It needs at least 200g tank

We took out the naso and maroon. Got another black and my wife got a coral beauty angel. Thanks for the help
