3' tank might be acceptable for a small tang if it has swimming room all around. I have a coral beauty in my 2' x 2' tank and the coral beauty cruise the 4 walls without interruption. If it is limited to 3 walls or 2 walls free for swimming then the fish is going to hit the wall, turn around, hit the other wall and turn around add nauseum. That start to look like a tiger in cage going from one side of its fence to the other all day long...sad.

I agree about the aggression not so much about the room, fish are going to use up the space they have be it 3ft or 10ft when you compare it to where they come from I guess none of its really fair is it?
I don't buy the bit that this fish just dies for no reason that could be said for 50 different species when the diagnosis is done by hobbyist with no medical back ground no?
