Different Tang Genus Question???

Researching which genus are safe to have in multiples and which Tang/surgeon fish can be together has got me all confused.
I have a kole and (had) powder brown but would like to add one more. Possibly a clown or Lopezi..

Is this right?

Tangs:
Ctenochaetus, own singularly
Zebrasoma, can be in multiples if added together and coexist with above.


Surgeons:
Acanthurus, ??
Paracanthurus,??
Naso, ??
 
basically you just want tangs from different genus's, anything in zebrasoma is most likely to school, BUT 3 tangs need a pretty large tank - 180 would be minimum. I wouldn't however get clowns or shoal tangs as they can be very very aggressive.
