Part of your problem may be the food you are feding your regal tang. All tangs require algae as the mainstay of their diet but the Regal Tang is the exception. They are meat eaters.

Shiver that is a poor plan. Why are you looking for another disaster.

Buy one fish at a time suitable for the size of your tank. Wait one month before you add and additional fish.
