I have a 110 gal.tank and a 30 gal sump. A ton of rock but not all live. It is the start to a reef. I have one Medium Yellow tang that has been in since just after cycle 7 months ago. Can I add a purple and a sailfin at the same time and have them not kill each other? There is a ton of open space for swimming in the front of the tank and plenty of rock to hide in.
I am getting a large Naso in a few days as the center piece for the tank. ( already paid for )
Also I would like to know if I can put in a clarkii clown in, I have a large Cinnamon clown that lives in my Bubble tip and does not stray to far. ( kinda agressive fish swim by ) Also have a Gold stripe Maroon Clown that has taken to a Purple condi in the corner of the tank, Again it does not stray from its home either.
I would love to get a clarkii if there is a chance it will stay away from the other clowns.
 
I'd only put one or two tangs in a 110 gallon tank. but definately not of the same genus, and definately not a naso
 
Naso is too big for a 110, Sailfins would also be too big. I would stick to the small Tangs for a 4ft tank such as a Kole. And I would only suggest one
Not a good idea to mix Clown species either:(
 
Thanks but, My tank is 72" long. I had a lot of luck with a noso B4 I lost every thing to a rusty plug strip when I was out of town. But I never tried a sail, purple, and a yellow in the tank together. I was told that odd numbers will work well. I had a big naso and a big sail with no problems, I had them for about 3 years. I guess my question is: will they eat eachother alive? I am planning a bigger tank one day. maybe I should give it time.
 
Has anyone had long term sucess with odd number tangs of the same body type in a 6' by 18'' by 18" tank?
 
I agree, either naso or sailfin would outgrow that tank. Also with a yellow tang already in there, it is best if you add another tang other than the zebrazoma genus. You can try a kole tang or chevron tang.
