in my experience all those angels and tangs are just a disaster waiting to happen. angles are hard to keep so many in 1 tank. they will eventually kill eachother. and so goes for tangs too.

Wow, nice combo sir. I would keep an eye on my ammonia level, Angels will get cloudy eyes in a hurry under duress & ammonia burn, hopefully your biological filtration will catch up quickly to the new load upon it, but I think you know the answer to your question, it's a bit overstocked but doable with more frequent water changes.

Oh my...I have never been able to keep two large angels in the same tank that we're the same size...good luck, but angels are territorial, and they can really get big

well there really shouldn't be anything to catch upon in theory because i combined 2 established tanks..including ALL of the live rock but i will closely watch water quality. i used to do 50g per week on each tank but since the combo i have done 50g 2x a week but its only been a week and done the second water change today.the sump on this tank is 75g of useable water volume

there are several respected members on this forum who have done so, not saying i can because they did as each fish and setup is different but the false personifer angel and regal angel have been together for approx 9 months
