I would ditch the powder blue and go with the powder brown A,japonica. It is an excellent fish.
I would try to hold off and add the tangs last. Add them together with the lights off for a day or two. Avoid approaching the tank so as not to stress them. Feed from both sides of the tank.
That way you will avoid the tang problems that a recent thread revealed.
BTW I would recommend getting a natural pair of mandarins after your tank is mature. It is really neat to see them be together.
Good luck.

+1 on the tangs... If you want a powder, I also like the Brown better.
