i wonder why this is such a debated thing on these boards. seems so hard to tell someone not to get a surgeonfish in a small tank.

I had a Kole in my 92 corner for about 2 weeks then I got feeling bad that I prolly didnt have the swimming room so I took it back and got a new clam...I cant wait until I can get the 125 up and running that I am going to pick up this weekend from Frantic
...That way I can feel comfy housing 1 tang..prolly an Achilles (sp?)

I have a Kole tang in a 90 gallon and he does fine. He is grazing on algea all the time and is healthy. I see no problems with the smaller tangs in a 72 or larger tank even when they are full grown. In fact many on this board gave me that advice when I was stocking the tank.
I have a hawaiian trigger, Kole tang, coral beauty, maroon clown, and diamond goby in a 90 and they are not over crowded.
