looking good by the way Andrew. I like the island you created, one of the nicer looks I have seen.

Now back to the tang, I think it is fine as it is small and has lots of room compared to its size, no need to self apointed tang police here.

Steve
Yes, Steve but the tang looks 3 inches now and although yellow tangs don't get huge they grow to 5-6inches in no time.
The tank is only 24inches long so there is no room for the tang to swim.
Basically she has only 12 inches to swim taking into account she has to turn around at both ends.
