setting up a 130 tank I can get dimensions later but it’s is 72 inch’s long. What tangs would be good for this tank, I’m really interested in getting a naso. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!
 
Nasos get too big for a 130g.

At 72" long ant Ctenochaetus or Zebrasomma species. Most of the Acanthurus, except for the most rowdy of the genus.
 
Mimic tangs are cool and very personable, as an adult they are chocolate tangs and pics don't do them justice.
 
Mimic Tangs and Convict Tangs would be excellent choices as they are some of the least aggressive of the bunch. According to LA these tangs would work in your tank:

That said, I would avoid the Powder Blue as they are super prone to ich and known for being more aggressive. I would also avoid the Purple for aggression issues.
 
I had three tangs in my 135, it's all in how you add them, Hippo, Chevron and Powder Blue. Sohla are most aggressive, then powder blue, powder brown, Achilles, Purple, Yellow. And note tangs of same family (body shape) can fight.
