I keep a blonde naso in a 75g for about a year now he has grown from3'' to about 6'' and is extremelly happy swimming against my koralias. I've heard of people having problems with them growing,I've allowed some macros to grow in my display so he can graze when he feels the need and I give him a meatier diet than most do. Tangs are one of my favorite fish,everyone I've ever had ate from my hand allmost immediatelly,when you look into the tank they swim right infront of you to be admired lol Carefull with that powder brown you look at them wrong and they get sick not to mention the powder blue and brown I tried just hid under the rocks all the time.

My Yellow was 9 also whe she passed away. Again, with more care and less moves, I think she had a few more in her.

My tangs never grew beyond the size I bought them. Nothing noticeable anyway. My YT was typical pet store size, maybe 4" nose to tail?
I feed daily, broccoli, kale, nori and a variety of meaty bits, but never had a tang grow.

I would suggest getting the book "Marine Fishes" by Scott W. Michael. Good info on 500+ fish. Worth the $25. This book mentions 4 or 5 tangs that might work in your tank.
