blue, yellow,powder blue, or naso tang?

hey all, i have a 55 now, upgrading to a 150 shortly, and was wondering which, if any, would be good for my new tank. the dimensions are 52 x 28 x 24, and will have mostly lps, but some softies, and few sps. the fish i currently have are, pair of clowns, yellow clown goby, foxface rabbitfish(reason for the upgrade), and a fat round mandarin. with a tank only 4.5' long, will i be able to have ANY of those tangs? the tank will have like 120 lbs of rock, but won't be piled up too high, leaving swimming room. my gf likes the naso the most, but space wise, would probally be least desirable, correct? i'm adding the tang last, but will probally add some anthias, a cbb, and maybe a couple blennies or goby. also any problems with these tankmates? thanks for any feedback, lawrence

a yellow or kole tang would do well in that tank. Naso would be a no no for that tank. It just gets to massive and is way to active. No problems with the tank mates

Just wait until you have the larger tank to get the tang. If you are upgrading soon then just wait awhile.

I agree about waiting for the bigger tank. But a small yellow would be ok for a while.

yea, i was going to wait for the new tank. for 1 this bigger one is a lot more money, and i also wanted to add it last to avoid any possible aggressions. i'll probally go with the yellow tang. anybody see any problems between it and the rabbitfish, both being bright yellow and all? thx for all the replies

A yellow tang and rabbitfish will get along in a 150 gallon.
