3 Tangs in 125 gallon?

[LagginPotato]

Hi, I am about to set up a 125 gallon reef and am wondering if three tangs will get along without killing each other or getting very stressed. The tangs I am thinking of are a Yellow Tang, Powder Blue Tang, and either a Powder Brown or a Two Spot Bristletooth tang. Does anyone have any experience mixing three tangs together?

When I had my 125 high I kept yellow, purple, chevron and powder blue without a problem.

I've got a hippo, yellow and mimic in my 150g with no problems.

The only issue with tangs is they are very territorial IMHO The best way to put them in a tank is all at once. If not then then add them by aggression the more aggressive the last. On you list the powdered blue is the most aggressive then powdered brown then yellow are close and last and least aggressive is the bristle tooth tang. Another trick to adding tangs one at a time is when ever you add an additional tang is to move the rock work around.

Could you go up to the 150? Same dimensions just taller, or better yet 180?
