tank is too small for a regal tang, even the link you posted states 180g as minimum tank size.

Well I know alot of people that have them in that size.
But this is not debate if a tank is too small or not

I'm chiming in here not to wag a finger or criticize anyone cuz lord knows I have my own little list of sins. I'm just a fellow reefer who has gawked and drooled over some beauty fish more times than I can count, but at the end of the day I sadly walk away because I'm not properly equipped or have the incompatible inhabitants in my tank and buying that fish....no matter HOW MUCH I want it....is not fair.
IMHO A 90 would suffice for short-term uses such as quarrantine, or acclimation. I think the other reefers are just trying to nicely say there is a HUGE difference between just "keeping fish" and properly maintaining and caring for fish. A smaller tank than is reccomended can do no good for your the fish. It will most-likely have a shortened lifespan, stunted growth, will most likely not produce full color grandure and spectrum of adult coloation and will become very aggressive. Neither of these symptoms are indicative of a healthy fish and is just plain and simple not fair to the fish......or its tank mates for that matter. A beauty fish for sure and on everyone's must-have list, but be fair to the fish too
