om...
I have an empty 72 gallon Bow Front with 40lbs of live rock and a live
sand base. My filter, skimmer and lights are very basic. My wife
wants me keep thing simple (I have lost some fish before). I want to
put a school of fish in the tank and keep things to one or two types.
I will probably keep a hermit crab to stir the bottom up. I will have
no coral or plant life.

Should I go with a school of

Blue-green Chromis or
yes

Yellow Damsels or
big fight. these will not school.

Both?????
no.

look into the cardinals also there are several that will do nicely in a school

Yellow Tangs normally do well together. Most literature
states you should keep them either singly or in groups of 5 or more.

I know ive seen the groups of 5 or more part before, any chance you know where, I used
that almost like you did, over in r.a.m.r but was asked for the reference and didnt have
it?

This one just says "Large Groups"

This one claims it doesn't get along with any other Tangs:

The book "Your First Marine Aquarium" ISBN 0764104470 states:
"...tangs should either be kept as solitary specimens, or in groups of
at least three."
