I would ditch the powder blue and go with the powder brown A,japonica. It is an excellent fish.

I would try to hold off and add the tangs last. Add them together with the lights off for a day or two. Avoid approaching the tank so as not to stress them. Feed from both sides of the tank.
That way you will avoid the tang problems that a recent thread revealed.

BTW I would recommend getting a natural pair of mandarins after your tank is mature. It is really neat to see them be together.

Good luck.
Totally Agree. If you insist on a powder blue, I would buy one from a fellow reefer who has kept it successfully for a sustained period. I've never had any luck with store bought ones. I have one in my 180g and it is the most active of all my fish. I sometimes feel I need a bigger tank for it.
