Ok so i have a reef tank 375 gallons, 8'x30"x30"

I already have these tangs.

2 Blue tangs
1 Yellow tang
1 Mimic tang
1 Naso Vlamingi
1 Naso Brevitous

can I add two more tangs, Acanthurus Fowleri and Acanthurus Maculiceps?

I would like some opinions.
Thanks

I haven't kept either of these tangs (but have kept a few of the same genus together); so this is pure experience and opinion. I think you have plenty of room and I'd introduce both at the same time. I'm sure you know that tangs of this genus don't like each other, even though A. Fowleri has a rep of being quite peaceful for this group, and your present tangs have become accustomed to their territory. I'd expect some bickering and pecking order stuff, nothing is guaranteed; buT it should work out,

Urbor, I have a 400 7' long and just traded out my vlamingii. I'd advise you to do the same. They grow fast. I hated trading mine but he looked cramped in my tank. I've never kept the 2 acanthurus you list. Look at the tang primer.
