I do agree we aren't giving any favor to a Tang (or any heavy swimmers) we pull out of the ocean.. I think yellow tangs are more accepted in smaller tanks because they don't get as big as some of the big swimming tangs.... Untamed's tank is a clear example of why an Achilles shouldn't be in a 4ft tank... That Achilles SAILS thru a 400G tank without intrusion from rock walls and such. Even at 8 feet long, the tank is still 4 feet wide, so that tang is making big large laps, compared to the stop and go in a 4ftx20". Regardless, there are tangs that I am thinking about for my 75 that are recommended to be housed in 100-135G...
