1. Don't mix hawkfish.

2. Your tank is just a tad.....overstocked already.

You are already a little overstocked as it is. Consider upgrading to 100 or 125 gallons due to your Tangs.

Probably more like 150g - 180g depending on if you have a nice sump or not.

I'd say the limiting factor in you fish list is your blue tang, and your snowflake eel. The foxface needs around 75gallons for swimming room and the yellow tang is around the same... its the blue tang that really needs 6' of space.. combo that with inter tang aggression and a preditor like a snowflake eel
and you get a big tank of around 150-180 gallons.
