Need advice on stocking up my 220g reef

A Mimic Lemonpeel Tang for the Acanthurus would be fine. The Achilles, Powder Blue and Powder Brown are too challenging to maintain. Mimic Lemonpeel changes into a different color once it matures, it becomes brown.

Also don't forget to think about a foxface, they're great algae eaters and very peaceful. My chocolate/mimic really has become one of my favorites, super calm and peaceful (and an acanthurus). Iaagree strongly with Brewsppoint aabout feeding heavily to keep everyone happy, make sure you have the filtration to cope. Naso also are peaceful

I feed a home made mixture of squid, tuna etc. . Like the brs video once a day and since covid pellets a few times a day and nori. I have struggled with nutrients in the past but I have some really fat tangs

If you are trying to add any fish to a tank that already has Tangs in it (and they are established), you either can change up the aquascape, use an acclimation box, remove existing Tang for a few days and add new addition, or the best option to me is to add a full length mirror on the outside of the tank.

The mirror will cause the aggressive fish to do what he does best, be aggressive but mainly towards itself.

First piece of the puzzle, got a medium/large Purple in QT now.

Update on this effort. My Sailfin and Purple got Velvet and didn't make it through.

Right now I have a Yellow Tang half way through Copper treatment and then will treat and observe for another 2 weeks before going into the DT sometime early in November.

But this now disrupts my plan of introducing all 3 Zebrasomas into the DT to avoid a blood bath.

What would you all recommend or do?

I'm considering just putting the Yellow into the DT and then get another 2 Zebrasomas (maybe another Sailfin and Purple) through QT and introduce them together into the DT with the Yellow.
