I have a 120 (24x24x48) with extenal overflows so it's a full 2ft x 2ft x 4ft. I owned a tang in my last tank which was a 4ft 75gal. In my opinion a tang needs more than 4ft to be comfortable. I won't have another tank until I upgrade to my next tank which is a 6ft 230gal. In smaller tanks fish such as tangs seem to swim laps. They don't act naturally when they're 'crammed' into the environment they're given, especially when they have to share that space with other fish.

Yeah. I have a Yellow Tang in a 140 gallon, 4 1/2' long X 2' X 2' deep and he is not as happy as he should be..... He gets kinda spastic once in a while.
