Hello, I have a 120g tank (w/ 55g sump and 40g refugium) that has been setup a little over 4 months and fully cycled. Have 2 clowns and a chromis in there that were put in to continue helping along the biological filtration.

I'm ready to throw in some new fish into A 20g QT tank I have ready to go. From the fish I've researched and decided I ultimately want to see swimming around in my display as sort of the "show pieces" are the copperband butterfly, yellow tang, powder blue tang, and blue hippo tang. I understand tangs are aggressive towards each other.

Should I get the copperband first and then in a few weeks get all 3 tangs at the same time so they are introduced together?(limiting aggression/territorial disputes)

What are your guys thoughts?
(There are other fish on my list too but these mentioned were my main concern)
 
That's probably the best thing to do put the butterfly in first then the other three. From my experience I found yellows take no notice of Blue hippos and vice a versa when introducing them but the powder blue Will become the dominant Fish in your tank and could even go in last of all.
