Thanks for the replys. I am aware that both Powder Blue and Achilles are challenging to keep and would not even try it in a smaller system. They would definately be the last fish I added and even then only after the system had been set up and stable for at least 6-8 months. I don't think that well oxygenated water will be an issue as I plan on having 4X6200 tunze streams as well as a Bubble King 500 skimmer. I do regular water changes on all my tanks of at least 10-15% a minimum of every 2 weeks and other that the 190g that I am running zeovit on do not add a bunch of "stuff" to my systems.
I am still undecided but just looking to collect as much information as I can so really appreciate when people take the time to pass on their knowledge.

U go Ruth the main thing is that the tangs are cared for at the top quality. I have 4 tangs in my 170 60x27x24 and they are small but they swim around until i get up the nerve to build my 8 footer soon i hope...

Great Ruth.
You already have a large tank so you are aware of their swimming needs.
There is some great info on tang requirements at www.wetwebmedia.com
