Good stocking for a 65?

Any tang is a "no" for your tank size. I'm sorry -- you will have a gorgeous tank, but there are arguments on here about proper tank size for a tang, but a 65 will be cruel once it reaches its adult size. Also...every dottyback I have ever had has been a huge bully, despite their size, but I have never owned and orchid. I've had good luck with coral beauties and bicolor angels (dwarf angels) -- but any angel can be a potential problem. But mine have behaved themselves in the tanks. I think your tank could handle them, but it would be pushing it. Liveaquaria has a good website and tank/fish combo suggestions: https://www.liveaquaria.com/category/15/marine-fish
 
+1 for coral beauty. No guarantees ofc, but one more person having good luck with one (was biota captive). It has that "tangish" shape and spends some time out in the open swimming. Mine is tank boss, well, between him and the algae blenny.
