Last weekend I found a beautiful 5" Powder Blue Tang and decided that against my better judgement, I would purchase it. I did. It's in QT right now and I've done the first round of Prazi. So far, it's spot-free. I know all about their Ich-magnet reputations.

Today, I came across a deal on a 7" Regal. This is another Tang that I've never had, but always wanted. That's going in a separate QT and I plan on two Prazi treatments and observation.

If I introduce both to my 240g at the same time, am I okay or flirting with disaster?
 
Nah you'll be fine. Adding tangs AFTER the PBT however will be a struggle from you know what.

I would simultaneously add tangs on your bucket list. Make sure everyone is disease free. Give the tangs a month to be "sure" they're ich free
 
I might consider adding the regal tang a few days before the pbt, they are much less aggressive than pbt.
 
I am getting the Regal this weekend. I have to set up my other QT. here is the best shot I could get of the PBT. Spots are in the tank, not the Tang thankfully.
