Best Tang(s) for Mixed Reef?

[Rovert]

Looking to add a tang (or two...) to my 170g mixed reef with inverts and clams. Have my eye on Kole, Yellow, Chevron, or Purple but would love an Achilles. Other fish as below. Can anyone advise?

Heptatus tang
4x Green Chromis
Foxface
Gramma
6-line
Coral Beauty
Midas blenny

Thanks in advance!

Assuming this is a 6’ tank, I would personally stick to two Tangs - a Hepatus as your large tank (which will get to 1’) and a Ctenochaetus species for a smaller tank.
Unfortunately you can’t get the true Strigosus or Hawaiiensis anymore as they are Hawaiian endemics and not on the lists for future export in Hawaii. I personally prefer these two anyway;
- Ctenochaetus flavicauda (White Tailed Bristletooth)
- Ctenochaetus binotatus (Twinspot Bristletooth).

This is my binotatus (And yes, his colours change depending on mood unlike other tangs).

Yes, I'm running a CADE1800 which is 6'x2'x2', about 170 in the display, 35 sump and 15ATO. My assumption and plan is to re-home any given fish as it gets too large. I'm mostly concerned about compatability. Had a Desjardini tang and he was such a jerk, I sent him to a good home, but miss having a tang or two, hence the question.
