also is there a good tang thread that i can read? i keep finding conflicting info about the sailfin and don't know if i should consider it.

I think there will be 100% agreement that a sailfin is not a good idea. The reason is that although reefers can buy them small, next to the Vlamingi AND similar tangs they are one of the fastest growing tangs you can get. Picture a pie plate in your tank.
The best tang for a smaller tank is the kole tang. Get one with no blotches, nice and plump bright clean eyes. Active: just as interested in you as you are in him. Keep a side of your tank dirty because he needs film algae which is the greasey stuff you find on the glass. They are really nice fish to have and are easy to keep.
