Try with Bluetangs, sailfin tang, Powder blue, Nasso and Yellow, make a well acclimatation, over 2 hours and you will be fine.

So many choices, you may want to start with listing some of your favorites. Also, think outside of tangs, since you have a large enough tank, for a group of Hemitaurichthys butterflies, or a couple pairs of Genicanthus angels.

My only word of advice... very large fish, even in large tanks, make the tanks look small, IMO. Also, I'd buy a QT tank before any fish

There's a gorgeous pair of true personifers on DD right now.

It's YOUR tank, how about telling us some of the fish you like and everyone here can help determine what should work out and what won't?

I have in my 285 a powder blue, purple and hippo. Its been a good mix. Add lots of wrasses, a blenny, hawkfish and a royal gramma. I'll prolly add an angel and some anthias down the road.

I like Naso Blond tang
Vlamingi tang
unicorn tangs
Love Triggers n ad harlequin tusk.. but also like some shrimps and crabs lol..
Also really like Angels but seeing how i wanna do a reef probably wont happen..
IS a school of yellow tangs possible?
or am i better off with a school of cardinals.?
Love Wrasses also

I have a 36x18x24 QT tank that is being setup as we speak..
also have a 100 gal sump all being setup in the fish room..should be up and running by the weekend.

I like Naso Blond tang Okay by RC standards, though IMO would only do one in a larger tank
Vlamingi tang Needs at least a 10' long tank
unicorn tangs Needs at least a 10' long tank
Love Triggers n ad harlequin tusk.. but also like some shrimps and crabs lol.. Fish or Inverts here...
Also really like Angels but seeing how i wanna do a reef probably wont happen.. Depends on the kind of reef you do. SPS should be fine for the most part.
IS a school of yellow tangs possible? I would advise against it.
or am i better off with a school of cardinals.? Better than the group of yellow tangs
Love Wrasses also Excellent fish overall, there are some exceptions, so let us know which ones specifically
