Definitely put the tang in last. Far from me to say it, but I personally believe that a 75 is a bit too small for a regal tang. They get pretty large.

Are you looking for something that's reef safe? Or is your tank a fish only tank?

Personally I wouldnt want to hold that tang in the bag too long! They're not good travellers! I'd personally go regal first if your getting it all in one day, but then if your going to a LFS I'd get that over 2weeks! Maybe we could get a bit more info on this from others.

Yea a bit different when your ordering online! Have you got a QT? I was helping out at my LFS on tuesday when they get their marines in and the Tangs where covered in whitespot and near belly up. You'll more than likley want to get him out quick into a tank with an airstone to keep the oxygen up. The bags they're supplyed in starve them so much!

I don't either don't worry! Get a bucket on hand with some tank water and an airstone, some people will probs think I'm over reacting but I've seen so many die through shipping!

looks like youve got a lot of room up top for a tang.
i would say a regal will be fine, i just wouldnt add all of that in one day the chromis and jaw will be fine, id say then make a second order with the tang and the enemone (also, nice looking setup! nice rockwork)

I'd wait a year before I put in the annemone. They like a really stable system.
