The answer to your question depends on your experience, the system's filtering devices you intend on using, if you are going to have a quarantine system, your commitment to keeping them well fed and giving them the proper diet, and probably more things I can't think of right now. It isn't as easy as just asking us the question. We can't perform the "magic" that it takes to keep a mixture of tangs together for you.
Tangs, by their nature are very territorial. Even though your tank is 84" long, it is minuscule compared to where the tangs originated. Tangs live in huge communal groups that roam the reefs grazing on algae all day long.
A Mandarin Dragonet requires a very mature system in order to survive and should not be purchased until the population of pods is great enough to sustain him and any other fish that feeds on pods such as the Neon Goby.
Give us more information maybe we can be of further help.
