Hello, I am a beginner to fishkeeping and currently have a 75 gallon tank with a marineland magniflow 360 canister filter and a 300 watt heater, my first tank was a 10 gallon and it quickly got me right it into the hobby, I currently am set on the current stocking: 2 half black angels, 2 marble veil angels, 3 german blue rams, 14 cherry barbs, 14 rummynose tetras, 12 sterbaI corydora and 1 bristlenose pleco, I plan on getting another magniflow 360 canister so I have plenty of filtration, I will quarantine each fish in my 10 gal for 6-8 weeks before adding, and plan on adding a big piece of driftwood surrounded by plenty of plants and will do a 25% water change once a week and clean the filter once a,month, now my question for you is am I ready to start my tank?

4 angel is not a good idea unless there all the same gender. Other then that it sounds ok. I'm not sure a BN pleco can be kept at that high of a temperature tho.
You can go ahead and set the tank up and get it cycling.

If I do 2 angels would it be fine?

2 would work well. With German rams you want the tank closer to 80.

Yea that should work. There's plenty of room at the bottom. Rams get along fine with corys.
