Good thread, good advice and it is nice to see a new reefer ask for advice before they buy the fish. You will be a really sucessful reefer.
Trust me. Tangs are a fish you really get attached too. You will not be able to trade it in and it will suffer in a small tank as soon as it grows which for a tang is really fast.
The reason you need a large tank is because tangs are swimmers. They like the length a 6 foot tank gives them as they motor back and forth. Those who upgrade to a large tank really notice the difference.
