Agreed. I'm sure an adult angel is just as happy in a 75g as a tang. I think tangs get more focus since most of the species cover a lot of ground. Although, I did read once that a pair of angels will claim over a square kilometer as a breeding territory. So ya, a tank just doesn't cut it.

I've had various tangs in a 75g, and honestly, they were no more stressed in there than in my current 180.
