you do realize that in the wild tangs tend to stay close to a specific area. now not all trypes of tangs but the common ones that you find as reef fish tend to stay in a spicif area like yellows and others. so. if there diet is met they don't need a tone of room and if you have a SPS tank with high flow they get plenty of exercise as it mimics the current they swim against. now I don't want to turn this into a tang argument as that wouldn't be fair to Andrew.

looking good by the way Andrew. I like the island you created, one of the nicer looks I have seen.

Now back to the tang, I think it is fine as it is small and has lots of room compared to its size, no need to self apointed tang police here.
