So I am tank searching and I am looking for tank that can support all three of these fish and for the bristletooth tang I was looking at a Tomini tang. Also please state the name of the tank and I am not looking to spend more then $1,500 on the tank if it doesn’t include lifting or sump. But if it doesn’t the max limit is $1,500 it can be a couple bucks above though like $90.

You're gonna get answers all over the place, but at a minimum you'll want to prioritize swim space and hiding spaces. I'd say for any tank housing 2+ tangs requires 100+ gallons.

Tangs need long tanks as they need swimming room. 4 tangs your looking at say 150 gal. Tank n stand will run you just about $ 1200 to $ 1500 bucks

150g would be ideal but minimum acceptable from having many tangs would be 90-110 gallons. Footprint is best to determine and provide at least 60" length X 18" deep

For that size tank and equipment you probably will need to send upwards of 5,000 to 6,000… check facebook marketplace sometimes people sell full get ups for less but you still would be in the 3,000 range for the size tank needed for all those guys. Tominis are smaller and you can get away with a 70 there but just no yellow or blue..
