Does anyone know if you can keep one anthia or do they need to be in pairs

Sunburst anthias and borbonus do well on their own.

I have a female lyretail that is a widower and she has been doing great but it has only been 3.5-4 months. My rock work stands off the back wall (standard 75g) so there is a little more real estate for the tang to swim around but in reality, I dont know that it really matters. No issues with aggression.

Stock list:

Yellow tang
Coral beauty angel
Kauderns cardinal
Randall's goby
Pearly jawfish
Yellow assessor (only comes out at night and to feed)
Ocellaris clown
Lyretail anthias
Chalk bass

2nd Revised list

2 Naked clowns
1 fairy wrasse
1 starry blenny
1 tomini tank
1 Yellow wrasse
Shrimp goby pair
Fire shrimp
Pom Pom crab

Looks pretty good to me. As said before angels are 50/50. I had a flame for 3 years before he decided he had a taste for zoas.

The yellow wrasse may pick at your Pom Pom as mine likes to have some crab treats every now and then. But I'd rather have the fish than the crab. The tomini tang will be fine, just purchase a smaller one if possible.

Ok then I'll just not worry about an angel, and I'll switch the yellow wrasse with an anthia!

Also would the bubble Magnus 3.5 be a good skimmer or should I upgrade it( had it on my 60 gallon cube)

I think it would be fine as long as you're not overfeeding.

Ok, would having a large skimmer make a difference... I plan on upgrading my current one to a much larger one.

I'm no expert but I've read that you can over skim if your skimmer is larger than needed. I would try your present skimmer for while before buying a larger one.
