75 gallon, plan is for clowns, Tangs, Wrasses, Angels, Gobies....what order should they be added?
 
I added clowns first, followed by gobies / wrasses, and tang last. I would think tangs and angels should be introduced at the same time. My LFS guy says the order should be more territorial fish later, and bigger fish later. So you might add a small, young tang before you added a large maroon clown.

It might help to know what kind of tangs and angels. Most tangs grow too big. I believe you're limited to Tominis, Koles, and white-tail bristletooths.

Same goes for angels.

Lots of people get blue hippos or sailfins and then find out that they will easily out grow the tank.

Yikes, you are right. I didn’t notice OP’s tank size of 75
