The 125 is more about more room for my Corals than my fish, that said, I feel that a full grown tang, with the exception of Purple, Yellow and Scopa Tangs need 6' long tank. That said, the biggest tang I've seen in a Tank was a 14", 2" thick Hippo tang in a 5' 180. She was big, healthy and for all intensive purposes "happy".

My advice, deal more with Bioload, maintence. Get one or two "big" fish, a couple medium ones and some small ones.

Thanks phillybean! gives me some more perspective on this. since we are on the topic, what type of food do you feed yours?
