Blue tangs are fast growers and get to be too big for a 36 gallon bow front.
That may be the nicest answer you will get on this subject as the Tang Police are everywhere just waiting to pounce.

Sorry to say, but hippos get really big. That tank would be too small in the long run. If you do not have a larger tank to move it to later, then I would not get one. But it looks as if it would work with the fish you have...
EDIT::: HENRY BEAT ME TO IT!!
