So I just bought a 320 gallon tank with a 75 gallon sump and I want a few tangs, I'm going to get a purple, yellow, blue hippo, maybe sailfin but I'd like to get both powders but I see people that say it's not possible but all the one's I'm going to get will be juveniles and I'm gonna try to add them at the same time, is it possible to have both or should I just pick one?

I have all of them together for more than a year In 200g. and they are doing fantastic.

Qt, same size, add together or after each other. This was my trick and it worked great. they will chase, nip and do their weird fighting dance at the beginning then they forget about each other.

Don’t let the older one get established. My powder brown will kill any new fish in his size.

Just note that is not 100% guaranteed This could work. But, you have a bigger tank you can try and separate them later.

Make them your last additions and add them at the same time. Never had any issues with a Brown, but my Blue is an butt to new fish. Nice after.
