stocking for a 125 - 3 tangs possible?

I know you're all gonna probably tell me no but I thought I'd ask anyways.

I would like to keep the following in a standard 6' 125:

blue tang
yellow tang
possibly a powder brown

5-6 chromis
coral beauty angel
2 percs
royal gramma.

I currently have the yellow tang, coral beauty, 3 percs, and royal gramma in my 75. They all get along fine.

That tank is about sized right for a single tang... they do get large. You might be able to manage 2, but I would avoid 3 of them. Not only will you have size to deal with, but also possible aggression.

I have 2 in a 125; naso and powder brown. Eventually, they are gonna get big, so I haven't added a third. Just a few small fish (chromis, etc..) If it was a FOWLR, you may be alright.

That's what I figured.... I know a lot of people that have the yellow and blue tang and it works fine... I just love the powder brown and was hoping.
