That seems borderline to me , what kind of filtration do you have including flow? I am assuming this is a FOWLR . With the PBT already established another tang could present serious aggression problems . Watch that lunnare wrasse often they turn psycho and will attack everything in the tank including powerheads and rocks. Bottom line - I wouldn't add any more until the juvi's are grown , probably not even then.

Filtration is Live rock(unknow weight as it has been bought piece by piece over several years)

50g water change per week
(every sunday while wife is at work and kids are at church)

sump return pump mag drive pump 3,000+ gph before head loss,
4 koralia #4 power heads


iam aware of the issues of powder blue and another tang..i actually added a purple tang 6 months ago and did not have tomuch problem with the powder blue..i lost the purple about a week ago because of an internal blockage (he ate the rubber band securing the nori to the rock and never expelled it.. i can also switch the tanks of the powderblue and the juvi powder brown when i add(if i add) a new tang and intro the new tang and powder brown at the same time to the 72 x 24 x29 tank and put the powder blue in the 7ft x 2ft x 2ft tank


lunnar wrasse went physco this week ..every time the sailfin would chase the moorish idol the lunnar would try to kill the trigger..the sail fin has benn relocated to the 7x2x2 tank and the lunnar has settled down

I would carefully moniter the water parimeters if you do. YOu might be alright because of all of the water changes you do.

I dont know if my fish have read the compatability charts or not.. but my drawfs dont pay any attentionto each other they are too busy swimming in and out of the rock work... as for large angels..at one time i also had an asfur in the tank with the scribbled(actually the asfur was 1st then the scribbled) and i had no problems between the asfur/scribbled..the asfur got moved because he hated the lunnar wrasse and the lunnar wrasse hated the asfur..the asfur was the easy one to catch of the 2(first caught 1st moved to other tank)
