I want a Blue tang

Hi Folks,
Newbie here. I have some experiance (always dangerous) from years ago and decided to set up a SW tank. Set up is two months now, all parameters are good! 75g, 50-60lbs LR, live sand, Marineland 360 external filter, Ramora Power Pro skimmer, 2 power heads. Fish: 5 b/green chromis, two clowns, blennie, Kole, and Foxface. Some hermits,cleaner shrimp and a few tiny "test" polups. I will add a few corals down the road. Everything is going great, but I can't live without a blue tang! I know I will need a quarentine tank, fight ICH etc. My question is, will the Blue Tang get along with the Kole and foxface? It's a peaceful tank now and I would like to keep it that way. Though my firt post I have been reading for a few months and this site has been a great help to me in building what I have thus far Thanks!

yes you can keep them along the blue tang is like the biggest wimp of all tangs very shy and scared

you should also get a protein skimmer for such a large tank

Hope you don't mind I merged your back to back posts. The edit button in the bottom right hand corner is great for adding to previous posts.

75 is a little small for multiple tangs. What particular species are you wanting? A Powder Blue, Regal Blue?
