It sounds like I should consider moving the sail fin out, which could make room for more fish?
Absolutely. A four footer is too small for any tang species with the exception of the kole tang.
The reason is tangs are swimmers and need the swimming space longer tanks provide.
Smaller tanks don't allow the the change to motor up and swim.

If you like tangs consider moving up to a 6 footer.
