Tangs for a 75 gallon? 48 inches long

Hello I'm finally upgrading from my biocube .. Would I be able to put 2 tangs in my tank? Maybe the carribean blue and a yellow? And some other small fish? ? Would this stocking list work?
1 yellow tang
1 carribean blue tang
1blue throat trigger
Pair of clclownfis
could I add anymore or could you sugest a better stocking list for a partially reef tank?
maybe better tangs or a stocking list with bright fish .. But I would really like the 2 tangs . Clownfish and blue throat

Hi welcome to your upgrade you can have more than 1 tang as long as they don't kinda have the same shape also do not add all those fish at once you will blow out the cycle I also see your adding aggressive fish with peaceful if you want the clowns add them first but after you cycle the tank then add the the trigger and then the tangs I would also add those tangs at the same time that reduces them from fighting with each other good luck bro

You can purple tangs are great you can also add maybe a wrasse but I would add them last or a nice yellow head goby to keep the tank clean I have one along with a lawnmower blenny there's lots to pick from sometimes its too overwhelming.
 
I just realized how pricey the purple tangs are. , what about this .. 1 blue carribean tang or a regal , and a yellow? Would this work
1 blue carribean or a regal
1 yellow tang
1 blue throat
1 or 2 clownfish
And maybe a couple anthias or some bright fish?

Blue's and Regals grow pretty big. Yellows state a 100g, but I've kept them in four foot tanks before.
Might I suggest a yellow tang and a powder brown? Or a yellow tang and a white cheek tang?
There's others as well... Kole's are pretty.
Powder blue tangs take a long time to grow to maturity, so you might upgrade to a bigger tank in the future.
any bristletooth tang works. Most zebrasomas tangs... Sailfins are pretty and if introduced at the same time as a yellow tang, they can cohabitate. My vote though would be any mix of any two that I have listed.
btw, I wouldn't put a trigger with clownfish.
Larger reef safe wrasses are cool, such as the Hovens wrasse, Lunar wrasse, or Rhomboid wrasse. Blue leopard wrasses are also nice and could go well with the other inhabitants.
