Tank stocking advise

Well I have scoured as many topics as I could find but I thought it would be easier to ask. I actually would like the advise of any tang expert. So The tank is going to be Sps dominate and is a 225 72x30x24. 90 gallon sump. Reflo hammerhead gold return with 4 seaswirls on the returns and 2x mp40 for flow. The skimmer is a reef octopus xp-5000 and 40 watt uv. So thats out of the way, my wife wants a chevron tang so I need to build from that. I want 5 or 6 show stoppers and I want to keep all fish for life not just temporary. So I don't want a fish that will outgrow the tank. I'm on the fence about a blue throat trigger. Weighing the pros and cons. So what tangs and how many should I get. I know that I don't a powder blue or brown or yellow tang.
Thanks in advance

it's a good size tank, in terms of what kind of tangs that will be up to u to decide, then u can figure out how to add them and how many until u reach a point u/fish r comfortable with.
 
The tank is big enough so you can have any kind of tang you want, a rule of thumb if you are skilled witch the tank you are building, you are, is 3" of fish per 5 gallons i would say give or take 4 tangs 6 MAX. My personal favorites are Yellow, purple, Regal, Blonde Naso, Sailfin, unicorn, chevron, Powder Blue Surgeon, Black longnose($700) and the gem tang($2,300). with your tank i would get a regal, yellow, purple and a blonde naso possibly a sailfin tang and (not a a rabbitfish) a foxface LO. Tang are my personal favorite family.

I hope this helps.
