NO!
5 tangs in a 125 is way too much.
Let your tank mature for a few months before adding anything except a CUC.

Oh, and Welcome to RC.
You have come to the right place for information and suggestions.

Nice tank!

You are already close to maxing out in terms of stocking, especially given the amount of LR you have.

I'd say maybe one more medium sized fish and you should stop there. Definitely no naso tang as they get to at least 15" big and require a minimum of 350 gallons to be happy. A powder blue or power brown is ok for your tank, although it's still a stretch given there's not a lot of swimming room due to the LR. you can get either one of them but not both, as they are conspecifics with exactly the same body shape and will fight to death.

The hippo tang will eventually outgrow your tank as it will get to 1" long. It may also harrass the tang that you add, so may the yellow tang.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I need to get a bigger tank already!
