Trio of yellows and 1 purple

Do you think that would be too many tangs in a 225? I would introduce them all at once. Just trying to ask around since it's not complete yet. Hopefully this summer I can start to fill it up! The dimensions are 72"L x 30"W x 24"H.

It's not that it's too many fish. It wool be better to stick to a single yellow and a single purple. If you want another Zebrasoma maybe a scopas or a black tang. In my experience adult Zebrasoma can be pretty aggressive, especially the purple.

I kept 4 yellows along with a purple tang in my 400. I also had a pair of Naso's along with a blue hippo in there as well. Just make sure they have places to hide along with room to swim. Feed them well.

the purples get quite nasty and can be EXTREMELY unfriendly to any new zebrasoma's added after them, or any fish for that matter... best to do it all at once... i would say 3 yellows and a purple would look awesome! i say do it, but make sure it is all at once...

How would the purple and yellows get along with a regal? I'd hate to see the purple harass it too much, but the regal would be in there first. There would also be lyertail anthias, pair of occys, pair of pink skunks, clown goby, pink spotted goby, tomini tang, green coris, green chromis, and an OSFF.

My purple tang is fine with the hippo. They are aggressive and I would make the purple the smallest tang.
