There's really no such thing as "overskimming" when it comes to fish. That tank is only big enough for 1 yellow or kole tang, IMO, and I wouldn't add a second tang.

Any more than one, maybe two, smaller tangs (small based on its eventual full size) and you would need a much bigger tank. I get that they are your favorite, but it would be inhumane to put 5 or 6 tangs like you suggest in that size tank. Sorry, but do your favorite fish a favor.

Tangs are my favorite as well, but as has been said, the tank is to small for more than two of even the smaller tangs. They just don't get along with each other.
