1 purple tang in a 80 gallon.I'm a sucker for tangs. Always have been and always will be. But we are limited in how many and what types we house in our reefs by tanks sizes, other inhabitants etc. But that won't keep us from talking about them today!
1. How many tangs (surgeonfish) do you have in your reef tank now?
2. What tangs do you have and if you're comfortable with it tell us what size tank you have?

Is this a 6 foot? I have a 4 foot by 2 by 2 120. I don’t think a blue hippo is good for mine once it gets bigger. Any of yours be good in a 4 foot tank?I have 5 total in a 125g with a 75g sump. One yellow, 1 sail fin, 1 purple, a hippo and a sohal.
Display is 1500 litres and whole system with sump around 2000 and thank you. And there is also a S650 which has even more tangs in it!Wow amazing, what size tank is this?
Lawnmower Benny?I voted No as my Aquarium is only 123L (32.5gal).
I don’t know of any tangs that are suitable for a tank this size. Although I would like to know if it is possible.
As we’ll, I’d love to know what herbivores I could substitute with.
That's not a Lavendar. Looks like a bristletooth variety.Shy Powder Blue and VERY active Lavender in Red Sea Reefer 350(73g display)
Ha, ha, ha. Well, that is good to hear. I have sort of had my heart set on an Orange-Shoulder Tang for some time, but after re-reading Bob Fenner's book on tangs, I'm concerned for my Blue-Spot Rabbitfish. But I've also liked the beautiful Lt. tang. So you've really helped me towards a decision here. Thank you!!He's not been aggressive really at all. He tried to show the vlaminigi who was boss for a while but now that they are close to equal size wise he doesn't do that. He's actually a pretty close to ideal tank mate.
Now if you ask me how I feel about his "special" behavior in clearing sand out of every hiding spot I might have a different reply lol.
A nice little sampler: a sailfin, a hippo blue, and a purple. I'd love to get a yellow, but I'm afraid to upset the balance. Purple and sailfin slap each other occasionally, but mostly tolerate each other.I'm a sucker for tangs. Always have been and always will be.
