Naso Lituratus tank size

[N.Sreefer]

Would a six foot long 32 inch tall 26 inch wide tank be big enough for a Naso Lituratus? Also anyone have any experience keeping them? I have access to loads of macro algae I’m close to the ocean would it be safe to feed wild macroalgae? I’m in a cold climate so I imagine the chance of hitchhikers living is low, though I may be wrong.

It should do well until the naso has grown to large size which would be well over a year
Assure it gets proper diet

Thanks for the reply. What would be the proper size tank for an adult? I was thinking selcon soaked live bribe shrimp macroalgae and the Kent garlic stuff would that be a proper diet? I did research this species but I have little experience with saltwater fish I’ve only kept coral and clownfish so I’d rather be safe than sorry.

They get quite big, like well over a foot. Here is the fishbase page, in case you aren't aware: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/naso-lituratus

Ideally, I'd say in the 8' long by 2-2 1/2' wide for a mature one. You're tank is a great size, but arguably a little small for an adult.
