I tend to err on the side of caution giving advice just because if things blow up because you took on something very challenging still being new I don't want you to get discouraged and leave the hobby. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to stocking choices especially the first couple years in the hobby
i dont think that will ever happen. my passion for this is so strong its crazy

Any acanthurus tang will be same thing as a powder blue. Bad idea in that tank size. At that size the happiest tangs will be any Ctenochaetus tang that isn't a chevron. You could also MAYBE get away with a yellow tang or purple tang, but that's pushing it and has the option for aggression especially at that tank size

Well I think you could get one yellow or purple tang but no more after that, you need a 6ft tank to have more than one.

if you are willing to splash the cash go for it they are expensive
And they would be similar in level of worry as a yellow or purple. They're also dummy expensive these days so make sure it's what you want.

If you’re going to get that fish might as well get a bigger tank and better equipment because the run like 2 grand on live aquaria.

good point but the problem is i cant put a bigger tank anywhere else
Your best option imo if you have 1500 bucks lying around for a black tang is to buy a used 180 so you can keep the Atlantic blue you wanted lol
