SO I'm creating a livestock list for a new 180G I'm building. I want to do something that could be really crazy or something really amazing. Along with some clowns and a few others (Goby/Madrian later on), I was wondering if a Yellow, Naso, Hippo, and Powder Blue Tang would be doable. If it could be remotely possible how could I introduce these guys in a way that they wont beat each other up? If it isn't possible what tangs (out of the 4) would be?

it also depends on what dimensions the 180 is going to be.

I have chevron and purple tang in 100 gallon tank. Tank is 62" long and those two fishes are the only occupants. I feed them twice a day seaweed and a little frozen food. Those two are the best bodies for last 7 years. Since your tank is larger you could keep more fish, however I would stay away from tangs. Usually tangs are very aggressive towards other tangs. If you want to risk having more then one tang you have to get them at the same time. They may or may not like each other, however if you feed them a lot they may get along just fine.

I agree with Dave.I would stay away from the Naso because they get quite large. I would also add the Powder Blue last. Ive introduced PBT's in the past and they only seemed to be tolerant if they were added last.

I can be done...I'd advise if you can manage to add them all at once and get see if the two zebrasomas are about the same size, the pbt is smaller and the naso can be any size, but you don't want to start out huge. I have all those plus a sohal. All but the sohal were added at the same time. Because the sohal is the devil himslef I purposely got a 3" long on, but as you can see in about a year it is now the largest fish in the tank.

+1 on the tank. I have stayed away from the Sohol because of their temperment. It is cool to see you have made it work.
