Red Sea Sailfin

[jden092901]

Hello...
I have a 120 gallon with a 40 gallon sump. I really want to get a red sea sailfin tang. I have been told that my tank will work for them and I have been told no. I want to see what you think? I know they dont grow super fast...
Thanks,
Joshua

From what I've heard, 125g seems to be the minimum tank size for the red sea sailfin tang. I think it would be fine if you got one for your 120, but that's just me.

Really it is the footprint of the tank. If this is a standard 120, which is a 4 foot tank, IMO it is not ideal, and I would not recommend it.
