Yes, please discuss it in a civilized manner.
Lots of good advice posted here. Although larger is better for most tangs, if one insists on having one in a smaller aquarium, then perhaps something like a scopas.
I still like the idea of a pygmy angel, perhaps a coral beauty, which are usually reef safe but like all angels, can turn on corals. Many tangs also can develop a taste for some corals.
My 45g cube, has a mated pair of "now breeding", almost 4 yrs. old percs and a lawnmower blennie. Thats it, except for the cleaner wrasse, {eats mysis}, that another aquarists had to remove because he nips at clams.
I would like to add another smaller colourful fish, but have not decided yet. Like most aquarists, I also love tangs, and even let the thought of a scopas in my cube, cross my mind, but decided it was the best to leave them be.
As you mentioned, they are in smaller aquariums now than ours, but once we purchase them, they will be replaced. I dont know how the trading in would go once they are larger. I have sold or given several away to larger homes, for various reasons but never purchased one with the intent of trading it in at a later date.
Anyways, not much more advice we can offer. Hope some of this helps.
