I guess where I'm coming from is my experience with 2 current tanks I had 5 tangs in my 125 ish tank 6 feet by 18" by 28" not sure of exact size plus 10ish small fish All fish super happy for 2-3 years year 4-5 tangs start fighting during that time I started up a 117 gallon frag tank 6 feet long 12" deep split up tangs they still were not super happy in the end my 6" red sailfin stressed out my Achilles I had for over 3 years stopped eating got ich died 100% all my fault I learned from it. I hate getting into arguments about amounts of fish in tanks there is no right answer I'm sure in reality 95% of tanks are small but work in the big picture tangs grow if you keep them healthy they outgrow most tanks. Currently I have the rs sailfin and chevron in display tank doing good together ,frag tank has naso and 5 year old emporer angel reel safe so far.
