Adding another tang?
Quick run down: just came out of hypo and everybody is doing great. Only 5 fish in the tank now (220):
Blueface Angel Bellus Angel - female Thompsons Tang Black Tang Orangeshoulder tang I wanted to add another tang or two, what do you guys think? I really want a Naso Blonde, and want to get him as a juvenile to watch him grow. Also was looking at the final being something "rare-ish" like a Chevron or Achilles. The fish all eat very well now and are all fat. Black tang has a bit of HLLE right now, but I've been adding stuff to the food to help him come around. Do you think they'll be aggression between that many tangs? Besides these, I plan to add some type of triggerfish and then the rest will be smaller fish. Thoughts?

I think you're pretty maxed out on tangs due to their large bio-load and aggression issues. You can get by with a Ctenochaetus like the Chevron, since they don't get too big and they're a different species than what you have right now. I wouldn't add an Achilles due to possible fighting. I love the blonde naso, but they can get pretty big (up to 18"). As gentle as they are, he might get bullied.
