75 gallon tank, with refuge (chaeto, DSB, LR), 150lbs of LR in display, aqua C EV180 skimmer.
Current inhabitants:
6 kine wrasse
lawnmoer blennie
Future inhabitants:
magnificent foxface
cherub angel or a bellus
female swallowtail angel or a wantanabi
bristletooth tomini tang or a purple tang
This a good list?
If it is ok, can I add anything else?
I plan on making it a reef at some point in the future.
Your help is appreciated.

I wouldn't put a purple tang in that size tank. I'm not sure about the tomini.
I wouldn't try similar-looking angelfish, so that's something to check. I don't remember off-hand all those angels. Remember that angelfish aren't reef-safe, so if you really want corals, I wouldn't count on keeping the angels.

So far every thing seems good except the angels. I would only go with one species and i'd go with the dwarf. With the swallowtail or wantanabi they are both large reef safe angels and will out grow the tank.
The tangs i would go with the tomini tang, but i don't have much experience with them so ill leave that for others.
Also the six line wrasse may become aggressive to new tank mates if he is well established.
Other than that it looks good

genicanthus spp are deemed large angels but are not that large in comparison to the actually large angels
bellus and watanabe's get 6-7"
cherub angels are notorious coral pickers
good thing about genicanthus spp are that theyre planktonivores
but bad is they require constant feeding...AT LEAST once a day
should be fed 3 times a day
i dont know about the multiple spp those, i have heard taht only the males fight but im not 100% sure on that since i havent kept multiple spp in one tank
