Adding a tang to my 180: Which would fit?

[ntropics]

Well, after searching for a moderate to medium large blue, not too aggressive fish for our tank, my wife and I have narrowed it down to a few (although we will still take any other recommendations someone might have)
1) Orange shouldered tang (Acanthurus olivaceous)
2) Lieutenant tang (Acanthurus tennenti)
3) Blonde Naso tang (Naso lituratus v. elegans) (Yes, I know, not really blue, but nice)

My tank dimensions are 8 feet long X 2 feet tall X 19" wide. I am not sure the Naso would be happy there, based on the recommended tang tank sizes on this site. It's got the length but not necessarily the width.

MY question is which fish would someone feel would be best suited to this set up? As always, thanks for any help anyone might be able to offer.

It's tank mates would be:

BUTTERFLIES: Chaetodon miliaris (lemon)
C. semilarvatus
C. auriga
C. falcula
ANGELS: Centropyge bicolor
C. ferugata (rusty)
Pomacanthus navarchus (blue girdled/majestic angel)
FILEFISH: Paraluteres prionurus (mimic toby puffer filefish) (one mated pair)
FIREFISH purple firefish (almost always in hiding, but he IS there and alive)
CLOWNS: one mated pair ocellaris clowns


Thanks!

Out of your three choices I'd say the best choice is the Lieutenant tang. It doesn't get as big as the other two and would probably be more than comfortable in the 180. Aside from that it's also a beautiful fish.

I agree, I think the tennenti tang would be a great choice.

Really all 3 of them would fit in a 180 lieutenant tang would fit better though

I have a naso tang in my 180 and its doing great with angels and various other fish.
