I plan on getting one yellow and one blue tang for this waterbox130.

i kept the rock structure simple.
Should I add more for them to hide or is the swimming space better?

Yes sir 48x24
Those tangs might need a bit of more swimming room once they grow larger. I’ve noticed they like a 6’ tank for there needs. But I’m sure they will be fine until they grow larger. I would leave the rock scape how it is for them guys to swim, maybe make a few caves for hiding. Beautiful tank by the way!

uh oh.... the tang police are going to be dropping by.....

I think I would add more rocks for caves and swing through for them. I have a Powder blue and an orange shoulder in my 75g and they love the swim throughs....

The tang police haven't knocked on my door...… yet...

I absolutely understand.
Because its not a forever forever home I didnt buy the larger tank.
For now I plan on buying a small baby tang and holding it for about 2 years , then selling or upgrading
