You could go with 3 tangs in that big boy

Don't get the Achilles Tang unless you can run copper in the tank. Achilles are ich prone
and is impossible to keep ich-free in a reef tank. One tang and $70 later, I lost mine. My yellow tang and blue tang have survived 3 bouts of ich. I don't know if it's good luck, but they seem to do well.
