I dont understand what your saying? Are you saying its hard to keep angels?

No I'm saying that there sometimes not reef safe
I wouldn't put a foxface in a 2 foot long tank, they are grazers like tangs and get fairly large. An angler would be awesome or you could do seahorses with a little bit of extra care. There are tons of stocking options for a cube and it's dimensions are nice. Also, on angels being reef safe, my friend had a flameback for a year that did wonderful than one day decided to just eat all his clams and acans. IMO no angel is ever truly reef safe even if it has been in a tank for a while.

I wouldn't do a seahorse they need a species tank and that extra care is a lot for a community tank

I have a 60g 24x24x24 rimless and have a nice selection of fish, just small ones. Most of the fish mentioned I wouldnt put in that size tank though. :-( It is an awesome tank for corals though as it has a great front to back dimension so rockscaping is easy and looks super in this size tank. Thats why I got mine, to make a fullblown reef vs a "fish" tank per se. I think the biggest fish I have in the 60g are my b&w clowns. I have a bunch of gobies and blennies too but it looks pretty nice in my opinion. The full blown reef has had to wait as I am infested with aipastia at the moment. lol But thats what I think the cubes are best for. Just my opinion. 
If you want a tang then a 75g is the bare minimum in my experience. Even then, you would have to stick with one, but you could have a foxface and even a school of fish if you wanted. Its that 4 foot length that makes the difference, not the extra 15g of water.
If you have the 60g already just stock it with ":happy" small fish, they can be just as cool as the large fish. lol

I meant just seahorses lol I would never do them In a community. But yes they can be tough.

No, but i can get a lid and make a canopy. Jawfish i have heard are hard to care for, and hawks seem kinda freaky and aggresive.

If this is still the 37g tank you were talking about then no, you can't do a fox face. They need a much larger tank still. You have to keep the size of your tank in line with your expectations.
Jawfish need a deep sand bed so you will be looking at sacrificing 5"-6" of tank space to substrate in order to keep one.

Suggested tank size is 125. I would think that's overshooting it a little and might go with as small as a 100

As I posted earlier .
You can keep a one spot Foxface in a 70 gal
The Foxface lo is a entirely different fish ,
It grows bigger and even more expensive to buy .
