I love mine also...but I often think the same thing. They are just REALLY active fish and need a very large tank.

I like the Powder Brown from the list.

yes I know i thought about a clown tang ,but i think that 150 gal is too small for him or her.

I like the orange shoulder tang a lot, nice vibrant personality, and they are super cool to watch them change.

If you go with any of the powder tangs, or the achilles, I would hope you can find one second hand. I so rarely hear of them doing well from LFS to tank. You need one like Marie's tang.

What kind of Kole do you have? Yellow ring?

Powder greys are nice...

Those are awesome tangs. They stay small, nice and docile! I'm sure you could get away with almost any tang if you are worried about personalities clashing.

Are you able to get all the tangs you listed? Did you pick them for any particular reason?

i had a baby tommi tang but the kole was a butt head to it and the little guy jumped.

Hands down the powder brown (japonica). Don't confuse it with the similar looking tang with no orange on it. Had mine for years
The orange shoulder grow to be rather drab looking and mean.
The powder blue tends to do well than die for no reason and take the other fish with it
The anchilles are iffy. Some make it most don't. They need lots of varied food and highly oxygenated water.
