Can I add a Purple Tang to this tank

Hey guys was just wondering if my tank is maxed out or not. I currently have a 125 gallon tank here are its occupants.
3 Anthias
2 Tomato Clowns
1 Coral Beauty
1 Six line Wrasse
1 Cleaner wrasse
1 Red Sea Sailfin Tang(this guy is a little skitish since he has only been in my tank about a week and a half but getting more relaxed)
I know how tangs are capable of brining ick with them, so I have been putting about two small drops of Garlic Extreme into the food for all occupants.
I am running a UV Sterilizer, Berlin Skimmer. Have about 120lbs LS, 90lbs LR clearer crew(large cleaner shrimp, crabs, snails) Got about 16 pieces of coral in there as well all doing great(all softies)

I wouldn't advise the mixing of two tangs no matter what size tank you have........from what I've heard Sailfins can be really really agressive.....I've seen them pick on a Powder Blue until it died.
Later!

My regal tang and sailfin do get along fine in my 72 gallon. They have never had any trouble. They have been w/3 other clowns for over 2 years. I was told not to mix some, but these were ok. HLLE is a bigger problem to worry about than ick w/tangs! I've purchase Zoe and starting that now. :)

Thanks for the responses. I think I will not add another tang. Better safe than sorry. All my food is soaked in Zoe/Garlic extreme before feeding.(EVERYTHING)
