I want to start introducing tangs in my tank and looking for recommendations on how to do and what kinds that are compatiable
 
What size tank? What fish are in there already? Which species were you hoping for the most?
 
I have 120g 4ft at first i would like to introduce A atlantic blue,clown tang,powder brown.
I have 2 tang in there now but the will be rehomed yellow and salfin.I have 4 wrasse and a file fish. Next i was thinking. Scopas and and last to introduce a orange shoulder or Achilles
 
Or any recommendations or advice on any 0ther tangs under 200 dollars
 
All three of those are acanthurus tangs and without proper treatment and quarantine the odds of success are low that they won't die of ich or other parasites.

Add to the fact that the clown will definitely outgrow that tank and I might advise a different genus of tang altogether for a 4' tank.
 
Chevron, tomini, kole, white tail bristletooth, yellow, and purple tang would all be acceptable choices.
