Finally did our upgrade to the 210g and was told our Tomini and Atlantic should be fine together and after one night the Tomini literally bullied the Atlantic to death. I was able to pull the Atlantic out but he never recovered from the beating and I lost him the next day...
They were in separate tanks before the 210g so it was never an issue. My wife really wants another tang and we are looking for something that can get along with the Tomini or at least hold it ground as she likes that one also.
Any suggestions on a good tang that wont be too aggressive in the long run?
 
Did you try to introduce them at the same time? Maybe with the next tang, do a little reaquascaping, so they both have to establish their territory, and the Tomini doesnt feel all of it is his. I did that in my 190g, and I have a pair of yellows that get a long (As well as a sailfin, purple, and blonde naso, as far as tangs go).

Just an idea, rather than settling for a fish you dont truly want.
 
They went in at same time at night with lights out. Had no choice as old tanks came down and this tank went up and hence the upgrade :). So it was new tank for both and no territory in tank had been established for either yet. Luckily I still had a qt tank set up and was able to snag the AB out but he never pulled through it all...
