Which tang for my 90 gal?

I know everyone asks the question. The twist is that I'd really like a blue or purple colored tang. The yellow and the kole really do nothing for me. Which would be better suited to a 90 gal 48x18x24deep with a lot of water vs. rock. My first and second choice would be the purple and the atlantic blue tang. There may be others more suitable, if there are feel free to mention them. So far I have a royal gramma, foxface rabbitfish, and a pixie hawkfish in quarentine. I will also be adding a lawnmower blenney, 2 percs, and some type of colorful wrasse. The tang will be the last addition to the tank when everyone else is settled. Thanks for any ideas, Fred:strooper:
 
Well, seeing as how you already have the foxface in there, you need to stay small and look at the Purple or Tomini tang. The other two nicer smaller ones are the Yellow and Kole, but you already said you don't like those.

IMO, u r pushing the limits by having the tang and foxface in something under 120, but that's your call.

You need to stay away from the bigger tangs, such as the Blues, Nasos, Sohals, etc.

The foxface is almost a necessity. My nano had a problem with some nasty macro algae and one of the animals that eats is reliably was the foxface. I cooked my live rock for 3 months but I'm expecting to see it in the 90 I'm a pessimist and I'd rather be prepared. I think I'll go with the purple tang. Thanks for the suggestions. Fred:strooper:
