2 Yellow Tangs should never be put in a 92.
These fish should have at least a 100 gallon tank. You could get away with one for a while, but a pair should not be in anything smaller than 150-180.

Yeah, I agree with Whitey on this topic.
As for your skimmer and sump, I have always liked ETSS Reef Devil Skimmers. Also, I would probably use a Mag Drive pump for your return, unless it is needs to be an external pump. In that case, my 210 is running very well with Gen X pumps. The Gen X 30 would work great on your 92. It produces 950 gph of flow.

This is a corner tank, right? I seem to recall the 92 is. Anyway, I agree that there are no "easy to care for" tangs and putting a bunch together is not an option. These are territorial fish and can be aggressive in smaller tanks. Aggression and stress lead to diseases and loss of your tangs.

just my 2 cents..i have a powderblue,a naso ,a achilles, and a kole they all get along fine however i do have a 400 gallon tank...i recomend one tang for a tank of your size ..Oh an dont get a powder blue very aggressive.honestly if i could catch him id get rid of him but that will never happen so he's stayin.he's a cool fish but very moody one day hes everyones best friend than another day he loves to mess with everyone except for the other tangs..

i dont belive in "starter fish" ...cycle your yank with shirimp from the seafood dept. at your local food store.Then be smart on your choices you make in the begining dont get any fish that depend on things you dont have yet to survive example fish that depend on alage to eat, ones that need pods etc...any fish that will eat frozen ,flake,seaweed etc..your fine to start with,an theres quite a few to choose from just read up on what ever you decide before you buy!!!an forget the damsels youll regregt it later an youll never catch them to rid of them

I have a blue damsel left as I got rid of my starter damsels. Live and learn
I guess. I could probably catch this one though. Not sure what to do now.
