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?
 
IMO, I think a naso would be fine. I personally wouldn't get one smaller than the orange shoulder. When I added a naso with a semi aggressive LT. tang,hippo tang, and chevron, the naso took over and caused the other tangs to school behind him. He only showed aggression to a tribal blenny. GL
