Which tang do you want?
I would add fish starting from the smallest and less agressive first, tangs are not small and some can be agressive also. I do this so that the shy fish stablish a territory before the big and agressive fish come in and want to take the entire tank for themselves.

2 months. 
think about all of the fish you want to keep. list them here, and we will help you figure out a stocking order. if an aggressive fish is added in the beginning it can be very difficult to add other fish later.

I agree with a few months. Maybe you could put in a Zebrasoma tank in a few weeks but if you want Nasos and Powder Blues, you need perfect water quality so Id watit a few months for maturity on them.

Well maybe for the big tank, a powder blue tang and maybe a Hippo or two. Some dwarf angels, some gobies / jawfish.

lets see, you have three tanks and you have not even given us a clue on what each tank is going to be for. kinda hard to suggest critters when you have not figured out which tanks will have corals, whether or not they are hard or soft or what.
