welcome to the site.
your tank looks very nice but i think you need to slow down and do some research. get a good fish and coral id book as this will help you gain some knowledge on what you can keep.
im not sure about the baby yellow tangs with blue eyes but it sounds like a young atlantic blue tang, which get very big and usually aggressive. so only one would be suitable.
but there is a yellow angel called a lemonpeel and they have have a blue ring around their eye and these can be coral munchers.
basicly its a lot easier to help you if you have the coract name of the fish/coral you need help about.
anyway, at least your asking rather than going straight out and buying first
