While I am waiting for my new tank to be done, I am starting to think about stocking. It's a 72"x28"x22" (around 200 gallons + a 50 gallon sump). My old tank consisted of mainly fairy/flasher wrasses which I also intend on stocking in this one. I have a carry over Golden pygmy angel as well, is it possible to add another dwarf angel? I also plan on adding one tang. Not sure on the species yet.

So what I am asking (which I know is not an exact science), how many fish could I realistically add of the 2.5" - 4" size plus a tang?

What corals (( if any )) do you plan on keeping?

While each angel is different... Years ago I had a Golden in my 65 with a coral beauty and venustus without issues. Well, the fleshy LPSs didn't fair so well.

With any other angel.

Also, just because an angel hasn't nipped at a certain type of coral doesn't mean it won't in the future. New tanks seem to change behaviors.

Yeah that'sa good point. I actually lied. When I first got him, that's all he would eat, so I would be the cheapest LPS I could to feed him. After a few months, the only food he would eat was Elos food. Eventually he started eating everything. I was just happy to keep him alive.
