125 tank how many yellow tangs??

[kilershrk]

i have 2 small 4 or 5" diamondback gobies and one percula clown and a chocolate chip starfiish in my tank. what do you suggest i put in with it and my 160lbs. of live rock, I have a current lighting system with 4 96 watt daylight bulbs and 4 96 watt atinic bulbs. I have to leave the lights off most of the time or the water will turn green,it also has 6 moon lights which I hardly ever use. I would love a school of fish for my tank but i am not sure wether to get an odd number of yellow tangs or some regal tangs, any suggestions?????

if you plan on keeping soft corals take the cohlate chip star out cause they will eat a whole muhsroom rock in a few hours..
also i dont know if the 125 is large enough for a "school" of yellows,, maybe just one

Kiler, welcome to the board...
If you want 3 yellows then IMO its worth a try. If small when aquired then should be fine for long time. I would not recomend 3 Regals. They grow much to fast. I dont know your system or experiance so this is only if conditions are good.

in our 125 we had 200lbs of live rock and a ton of corals w/ 3 yellow tangs with no problems, just the normal bickering.
