New 8'x2'x2'setup

[portsmouth reef]

I am currently setting up my 8 foot tank, and making the decision whethrer to go Reef or FOWLR. i want to have 1 or 2 large Angels, and Butterflys p[ossibly a raccoon and some smaller ones like the Dot dash. I assume I would get away with a BTA and a pair of Clowns, but was wondering if I could have a Hammer Coral and a Torch, basically not go total FOWLR, but have some Corals. Any input of experiences from others would be welcome:)

You would need some exellent filteration to have large angels (or any high bio-load), and keep a BTA. Anemones need very good water quality to keep them happy, and this is hard to achieve with lots of fish.

Soft corals with some angels might be possible, as generally they require less with regards to water quality.
