Well the angels can be a problem if your going to keep corals, also a 10 inch one seems way to big for your tank, geez it would be to big for my tank. That and the hippo tang seems way to big to. I would start with smaller fish, your really going to put alot of pressure on your filtration with that much of a bioload. I have a 1200 gallon system with one large tang 13 inches and it puts a ton of bioload on the tank

Welcome to Reef Frontiers!!! I hope you find the site helpful!

I would also agree with Mike. I think, especially with both of the large fish, to be a lot for a 112 gallon tank/140 gallons of water. Also, some hobbyists find the hermits can be on the more aggressive side towards snails. Scarlet hermits seem to be less aggressive of the hermits.

I like that you have the fish broken down in order of introduction.

Regal angels can be VERY difficult to keep. In fact its really something that unless you see one eating in the shop, I wouldnt take it home, even then your chances are really iffy. They are a shy fish that doesnt adapt well to captivity. I would definately suggest leaving it off your list.
I'm also a bit worried about the mandarin in your tank as well. You have a couple of wrasses and some other gobies...
You could very well wind up being all right with one in your tank, but I would suggest staying away from keeping one unless you find one eating in a store.
