multiple tangs in 240?

I have a sailfin tang currently 8 inches and a blond naso that is 6 inches in my 240 right now. I understand these fish get very large, but would it be acceptable to add a couple of yellow tangs, or a hippo? Other fish include a flame angel, dottyback, 2 small perc clowns. The tank is 8 feet long and the sailfin uses all of it, swimming back and forth. The naso does not seem as active as the sailfin, who loves attention. He will always put his fins out if you are standing in front of the tank and swim to you.

I am open to other suggestions for additions to the tank that will be reef safe? perhaps some anthias?
 
are those fish in your 220 very large? Do you think that they would be ok if they reached there full size potential?
 
my naso is the biggest boy hes about 8 inches, the rest go down a little smaller. they arent tiny. like i said these guys have been together over 2 yrs and have stayed around the same size since i got them. a little growth nothing crazy. They are all fat and healthy. i have some pics in my gallery. just to look at.
