I wouldn't put a powder blue in a 120, at least if you want to have other tangs. I added a purple and tennenti tang after the powder blue in my 360 and there were still aggression issues that went on for a week or two before they subsided. I don't think it would have ended well in a 120.

Purple and Yellow--could be a issue---same body style maybe if you add same time they may get along.. Powder Blue great but needs alot of attention and care to keep healthy-- cannot do anything to allow him to stress- parameters, seaweed all the time, anyone picking on him get them out...yellow eye or sailfin liekly ok. Tomini ok. dont get a clown tang- they are mean ******s!!

Save yourself the headache a skip the tangs altogether
90% are jerks (maybe its a higher number) and wont play well with others.
It's taken me nearly a decade and mamy tangs to learn my ways regarding those fish but they are never allowed in my system again- except the 1 scopus thats in each frag system for algae control

I love my tangs! They are definitely a tricky fish, but I’ve not had that much trouble!

They are great. Just need to find the balance. Especially if your mixed reef your good with them

Shoot I have 8 of them in my 180. I have the purple tang, Sailfin Tang, chocolate Tang, tomini Tang, yellow eye Kole Tang, powder blue Tang, big butt naso Tang, and Dory. They all get along fine the only one that was ever mean was the purple thing and that's because I put him in my tank first
