    I currently have a small yellow tang and a small powder blue tang in my 135 gallon tank. Could I add a naso and a Kole to the tank without aggression.

    short answer is No. Adding two more tangs to the tank will add aggression. with two already being in there. The powder blues will be more aggressive i have found in my personal experience so with four tangs in a 135g it is too small to have a peaceful community.

    I agree, 2 is probably all you want in a 135. I hear the power blue tang can get quite aggressive.

    Yeah more than likely they'll eventually get aggressive. You might get lucky with one but I wouldn't push it. Be happy with 2 most ppl don't have the luxury of even that. If it were my tank the yellow would get switched for the kohl.
