Tang suggestions for a 180G reef

Hi All,
I currently upgraded to a 180G (current inhabitants are a Hippo Tang, mated pair of Percs and a yellow watchman). My question is what other tangs can I add that are docile and will not outgrow my tank? I currently have an open aquascape with 3 pillars (120-150 lbs of live rock) that provide plenty of swimming room. All opinions are greatly appreciated.
I was personally thinking of adding
a Purple tang (not sure if it will fight with the Hippo) and a Kole OR Sailfin
Thanks
Andrew

a sailfin tang is pretty docile, and they get pretty big and are pretty fish. kole tangs are aggresive towards other tangs.

dont add abother tang in the tank of the same genus or species unless added at the same time. i would not recommend adding another tang genus acanthursus i would get a yellow tang or purple (genus zebrasoma)

i have a kole tang, and have to say for the price beats out a purple tang. As far as aggressive yeah a little bit, but only when picked on. Sohal tangs actually have a reputation for getting more aggressive as the get larger (which is why i want one for my tank) but if you are trying to keep it pretty calm i would do a purple or kole
