Thats an interesting post Dave but isn't a standard 75 gallon tank usually only 4' long? Wouldn't it be better to distribute the volume of the tank over the length and width rather then having an extremely tall tank? after all the fish swim from side to side and not so much up and down.
Just a question... thoughts.

I've got a Regal and a Yellow in the same 55, they are both medium-small. In the future, these fish will become my leverage to get a much larger tank. If you have a spouse, you must got about this with future interest in mind.
 "No honey, I don't NEED a larger tank, the fish MUST have it though."

Thanks for your concern about the size of tank needed for tangs.
Choose a tank with a minimum 6 foot length as length is important here not height, width or gallons. Tangs are swimmers they race from end to end at high speed and reguire the extra length that larger tanks provide. Thank you Wayne
