    I wouldn't but if want to do it then put them all in at the same time. I would just keep the two figuring they all get along.

    I wouldn't chance it, a 72gal is way to small. You might be ok if they where all very small, but they will outgrow it. I currently have 3 yellow tangs in a 240gal and I sometimes see them chasing each other.

    yea, maybe i will go with the 90 gallon, so far the two tangs in my exsisting tank get along great, and just swim together, lol, but i am still weary of the coral thing with the lights.

    I wouldn't put more that 1 tang in a 72G. I also would not put 2 of the same Genius in the same tank. But that's just me
