Think too about swaping out. Hippo is nice maybe sub yellow tang for sailfin. Sailfins just destroy any algae. +1 on adding angels together, first before the tangs and add tangs at same time. Word of caution.....Hippos SUPER prone to ich. As for Angels, yes u can have more than one. Avoid same species mix. Have plenty of rock and lost of hiding places so there are plenty of spaces to stake out as territory. Catch 22 is in a 120 gal ur Hippo needs good open space to swim. They like to "stretch their legs". Best to add similar size and species (ie angels together, Tangs together). If they become established and have declared tank space as territory there will most likely be issues and either rescues or a journey down the porcelain highway for one.
Another option if u cant afford to dish out alot of coin on major fish purchase is to re-arrange rock work enough that they all have to find a new territory.
Quarrantine the hell out of ur livestock before adding to display. Dont make same mistake I did and assume fresh water and or copper dips satisfy as treating ur fish before they go in. Use ur dips then quarantine for 4 weeks. Your tank and its inhabitants will thank u.
Best of luck to you!
