Edit come to think of it, if Mad Jolly Corals is giving such terrible advice about fish stocking you have to wonder about the quality of the advise they give about coral.
Wow!!! Little rude and uncalled for

I have seen frags from mad jelly corals and I can say they are Amazing!!! Plus I have heard nothing but good from their service. There's no need to be rude, most people on here are friendly and by most I mean 99%.

Here, watch:

@ Madjellycorals

I have to disagree with your choices of fish in this regard. Clown triggers and sailfin tangs will simply outgrow a 75 gallon tank.

There, easy and I don't implicate myself as a narcissistic turd scrape.

You're welcome.
Bravo!!!

Have heard and read nothing but rave reviews about Madjellycorals and this was definitely an uncalled for attack on their rep.

Danny, your best bet for a 75g stock for fish would be wrasses, tangs need space. If you want more fish go for smaller ones, wrasses can get big aswell and will start to fight in a small tank.

Leopard wrasses are an awesome addition and one of my favourites, flame wrasse are cool too, flasher wrasse are pretty nice colour aswell. Skip the rabbit as he will outgrow your tank quickly.

He only approves of 4 - 5 large tangs in a 135 bullnose sorta almost 6 foot tank Albert. Anything less is inhumane you must have missed that memo

Just because you see it often, doesn't mean it is a good choice. Most people on these forums try to educate people on the best practices for keeping our beloved pets happy and healthy. Tangs don't belong in 75-gallon tanks. There a few small ones (like Tomini, Kole, Convict) that may do well in 4' tanks, but they really fare better long-term in 90 or 120-gallon tanks.

Many people will buy small tangs with the plans to upgrade to a bigger tank when the fish grow larger. Too many times it happens that there is no follow through on that promise. No matter how good the hobbyists' intentions are, many upgrades never come to fruition and you see tangs cramped into tanks that are too small for them where eventually their health is challenged. Large fish in small tanks also presents the challenge of keeping good water quality. Big fish = big poop = lots of nutrients to export in one way or another.

Rabbitfish/Foxfaces are right up there with tangs too - with the exception maybe being the One Spot Rabbitfish/Foxface which, being smaller, tend to fare just fine in 90 or 120-gallon tanks.

I can definitely attest for that as all my sps frags are from MJC and nothing but good to say about there business and the way they deal with there customers.

As for the fish, I have a 75g to and have been going through the same dilemma. The tank is a little small for tangs but big enough you want a nice looking show fish. Wrasses seem he logical choice as they are colourful and very active and may serve a purpose with helping reduce pests in your tank. Maybe a small school of chromis or Banggai cardinals are another route I may go. Right now I have a sixline wrasse in my tank and he is awesome so I don't plan on adding a bigger wrasse. One more option I am considering is the flame hawkish which will add a nice splash of colour as it perches among the sps and rocks.
