Mytank is 4ft long

48*16*18

and no i dont because they need lots of room to swim. I know for a fact my tank is to small for my naso. That why i just bought the 6ft tank.

But to each is own. a baby will be ok in that tank, but only till it gets a certain size and you will tell by the attitude of the fish as it gets reallly testy, like its getting clostrophobic.

I am no expert, this is just what i have observed through my reefing expierience

Good thread, good advice and it is nice to see a new reefer ask for advice before they buy the fish. You will be a really sucessful reefer.

Trust me. Tangs are a fish you really get attached too. You will not be able to trade it in and it will suffer in a small tank as soon as it grows which for a tang is really fast.

The reason you need a large tank is because tangs are swimmers. They like the length a 6 foot tank gives them as they motor back and forth. Those who upgrade to a large tank really notice the difference.
