I already have a Yellow Tang in it already. Considering geting one more, possible a Powder Blue. Would that be ok?
I have heard that the Powder Blue is prone to ich more then other tangs, is that true?

I'd stick with the one tang. Have you considered any of the dwarf angels? Fairy wrasses? Since it's a fish only, many other genera of wrasses would work. Maybe even some of the hardier, smaller butterflies?

Agree. There are plenty of better choices listed above.

I also agree. I am in the process of seting up a 210 so I can keep a couple tangs. The 70 i had wasn't big enough for even one!

Stick to one. Like SDguy said, try some wrasses or butterflies.

sorry about the "a" lol i also agree with above, but to answer the ich question about the powder blue being more prone to ich then other tangs...its kind of true, kind of not...defintely more prone to ich then your zebrasomas but Tangs, that are generally more difficult to keep in captivity such as the Hippo, Sohal, Powder Blue..chances are it will get ich right in the beginning...its just how it goes...they are delicate shippers and should best be treated for ich whether you see it or not, as soon as you get them.
