NOw, I plan on stocking my tank by next weekend. I have had a agressive tank for the last 3 yrs. but now i want to go fowlr-reef. So far I would like a Reagal Tang. Anyone have any recommendations on some hearty reef safe fish. your input is appreciated. thanks in advance for your input.

Word of warning. The tang police will get you for putting a tang in that small of a tank. This site does a pretty good job stating if a fish is reef safe or not.

I have a yellow tang in a 29 gallon and so far No Tang police have found me, well maybe online but not at my house. Now you can have a tang in a 75 but you need to make sure its one that will be happy. I have a 75 gallon aquarium and will be adding my Yellow Tang to it once its cycled. I believe some tangs will be alright but not the ones that get really big.
There is too much dilemma on tangs and sizes of aquariums. We wont get into that.
My 2 cents is that a Yellow tang will be happy in a 75 but would be exstatic in a 125
