ever since i have gotten my fish tank my family has taken a liken to it. my father keeps asking me what fish he could buy for it and he is set on buying the coolest fish possiably after seeing my green mandrian. i told him maybe a powder blue tang or blonde naso tang. but what could he buy that look colorful and is reef safe? gem tang or purple tang?

Your choices for a 75 are limited. Be sure to use Live Aquaria's site to help you narrow down what you could safely buy for a 75 and then shop around until you find the perfect one. You won't get a whole lot of fish in there (and I'd recommend AT MOST one tang).
Is your mandarin eating prepared foods? If not I'd probably be supplementing the pod population until he did.

a gem tang will run you more money than a down payment on a car these days...assuming someone even has one to sell to your father.
How about picking up a book first on fish - like fenner's conscientious marine aquarist? Maybe they have one at your local library (or local fish store) to browse.
flame angel is unfortunately not the safest of the dwarfs
i as a rule discourage anyone from buying anything for my tank.... all it takes is one incompatible "gift" to screw it all up....

Like the time my daughter went and bought me a panther grouper because he was soooo cute and graceful. I lasted 3 months and I took him back to the store. ;D
potters angels are probably the prettiest next to the flame angels, and provided they are the only dwarf angel in the tank are rather peaceful, and i happen to have one for sale
I currently have a flame that "was" reef safe,then one day...well several mnths later,he has eaten more than 3x's his worth in corals :'(
