I think your tank would be overstocked with all those fish. Tangs are territorial and don't do well if they are crowded. I'd go with 3 max and only if they are smaller. As for the others, I think one puffer and maybe the eel? It may be too aggressive. Blue tangs are also very prone to lateral line disease and ich. I'd suggest a good amount of live rock and a good protein skimmer. A few healthy fish are always better than a lot of crowded, angry (and potentially agressive or sick) ones.

2 tangs, and in a tank that sze, i would definitely consider 2 of different shape to prevent territorial problems as well, other than that, i agree completley with baron

Thanxs guys that was what i was looking for. I have just got a job at a saltwater fish shop and was asking around and i have come to the conclusointhat i will have to go for,1 ribon eel(already eating),1 or 2 bluethroat triggers, 1 puffer(not to sure which 1s),naso tang(if possable), and maybe some other tangs.
Tell me if you think the list is ok
The filtration will cost me 2000 so i will have enough i think.
thanxs

I have had schools of tangs successfully but in that tank three would be enough. BLue tangs like to hide alot also. Feed them lots of greens. If you put a picasso in the mix you need only to put one in and it should be the very last fish you put in. They are agressive feeders and some i have seen will attack all newcomers as a potential meal. Mine also munches on the sea grapes I feed the others in the tank. Actually I have a dog-faced puffer in the big tank who eats them also. It is something my existing tangs really like....Best of luck :D
