not if you have the room for them it isnt bad, as a 600 gal tank im sure they are very happy(well as happy as anything thing can be in a tank).tangs are schooling fish so they like having company. dont worry you have no fears with the tang police ,unless they are living on brine shrimp lol..just out of curiousity what types of tangs do you have i have 5 larger tangs in my 300 plus a foxface(which are related)

sohal and vlamingi are two of my favorites! if you can find one the mustard tang (acanthurus guttatus) is a beautiful and not to pricy tang. the red sea sailfins are beautiful, i have a nine inch pacific sailfin and i love him to death but the red sea are more stunning. the pacific blues are great if you can get a healty specimen, they are very shy and i recommend taking them home sooner rather than later from a dealers tank, they are notorious for wasting away, they don't compete well for food in overstocked store conditions.

Post some pics. Almost seems like a fake thread with the title and the fact you have 7 posts, only 3 outside this thread...

What deminsions are the tank anyways? I used to see a LFS with a 600g which was 8ft long, 4ft tall, and 30 inches wide.

i will get some uploaded after class, gotta run for now, your tank is quite a beauty as well, my father has a 125 built into the wall, we tiled the front with marble tiles set in a diamond pattern, looked very sharp.

oh yeah, the list above, i wrote about the tangs the zebrasomas might rustle for a few days, size differences helps curb that. as far as the angels i'm not really sure how they will react to one another.

Looks like a lovely tank you have there, although in that final picture is that a damsel with white spot?

the one in the lower left hand corner is a yellowtail damsel from the caribbean, they have electric blue spots on their head and backs, one of my favorite damsels from my scuba instruction days
