Why would he need to get the hippo tang out? Because of the size it will get? The reason I'm asking is, I'm getting one and my tank size is 75 gal. ***)
By he way bluhippo.. very nice looking tank!

tangs are known to need ample room to swim. mant say 55 gallons is not enough. I have had no problems with my tangs in 55g.

many people say hippos will need 6 feet of swimming room when full grown(and many of the tangs). i think some people keep them in smaller tanks than 6 feet but the get rid of them. that would be my guess of what they do with them.

A hippo for a 75 gallon tank is perfectly fine with the right equipment. Just make sure he is the only tang in there.

i am using a 492 watt odyssea light fixture.
2- 150watt metal halides (10000k)
2- 96watt actinic blues
6 - moonlight leds.
i bought the light fixture, when i bought the tanks and it has been a great investment.
