Real quick question. I have had my 150 gallon reef tank up and running for almost 4 months now. I have the opportunity to purchase two fully qt'd fish from my stock list which would ship today for arrival tomorrow. The fish are a flame angel and a flameback angelfish. It just so happens I have 3 fish coming this Thursday. Would I be moving far too fast to add all 5 of the fish at the same time?
Too many fish to add at once?

Personally, I would quarantine any new fish. The pre quarantined fish (as long as it was done properly) would be less of a risk. You can always release them from quarantine over time to avoid increasing the bio load too much. I've never kept a flame and a flameback together, but I would be concerned about aggression between them (the flame may tag the flameback).
