i was not planning on mixing angels together but i wanted to know if the are compatibly with my size tank with approx 90lbs live rock and corals will be added in the future. also the maroon clown pair was a typo. i realize that a mandirin cannot be a fisrt addition to an unestablished tank. also i do not plan on mixing and of the tangs and angels if i was to mix angels it would only be with a pygmy and a large ange. i do not have the live rockas of yet so i would like to know how much to get to have an open feel reef( lots of swimming room for larger fish). i would like to have two clowns for sure, a midas blenny, ,a flame angel and a few chromis.i would lie to have a large bioload as i will upgrade accordingly.

The large angels are not reef-safe, and the dwarf angels are questionable. I'd nix any large angel, plus the lemonpeel as well- although they are dwarf angels, they have a reputation for nipping coral more than other centropyge species.
Also, I noticed that you seem to have only 2x65W of lighting for your tank. I'm afraid that you'll need a lighting upgrade before you can keep coral.
Finally, I'd caution you about adding a large bio load as a beginner. This will make things much more difficult for you, plus you do not have the added capacity that a sump would provide (I'm assuming this because you plan to run a canister).

Here is what I'd do....go out and get this book: Reef Aquarium Fishes: 500+ Essential to Know Species Buy the blue cover edition as it is newer and has more information than the older white covered edition.
You'll want to stay away from some of your list if it will be a reef down the road. The book I linked you to will give you all sorts of information on compatibilty, care, feeding, notes, and lots of photos. Highly worth it, I refer to mine all the time.
