Would I be able to have a couple tangs in a 110 gallon reef tank? I also have a 75 gallon I would like to add some to but I’m not exactly familiar with tank size and so on. I’m sure it’s probably a no for the 75 but I’d thought I’d try lol.

72 x 19 x 21 for the 125 I thought it was a 110 until I measured it lol. And the 75 gallon is 48" x 18" x 21.What are the dimensions?
Drreefsquarantinedfish.comSo my question is what tangs can I keep in a 75 and what tangs can I keep in a 125?
Ok so how many of each can I have and when I say each I mean the yellow tang the powder brown tang and the scopas tang?Drreefsquarantinedfish.com
The yellow is the only one of the three you’ve listed I would do in an understocked 4’ tank, the powder brown may work in an under stocked 125.Ok so how many of each can I have and when I say each I mean the yellow tang the powder brown tang and the scopas tang?

If you didn’t want to understock the tank then stick to the smaller Bristletooth tangs in the 4’ and the zebrasomas in a 5’.
Z. scopas I would rule out completely, these can be the most aggressive Zebrasomas and need huge tanks to lower that aggression. Z. flavescens I would say is pushing the limits of a 4’ tank however you may be able to fit one comfortably in a 5’ tank.
How many of each in a 4’ tank… I wouldn’t do any more than 1 tang in that size tank (I wouldn’t even do a tang outside of Ctenochaetus - I have a 4’x2’x18” tank with one Ctenochaetus and they’re the least active genus of tang, the one I have is quite active in my 4’). In a 5’ tank I wouldn’t do any more than 2 tangs, which even then I’d feel that would be pushing the limits to a 5’ tank.
I wouldn’t do 2 in a 4’. Move the idea of a yellow into the 125 with the blue or brown and then only go for 2-3 more fish.Ok so yellow and bristle in a 75 and the powdered blue or brown in a 125?
Sounds good thank youI wouldn’t do 2 in a 4’. Move the idea of a yellow into the 125 with the blue or brown and then only go for 2-3 more fish.
I believe your tank is an extra tall and ideally, you want length and width but dont let it stop you from having 4-5 tangs and be aware of growth sizes as an example, you dont want a sailfin, dussomierri or vlamingi which easily grow 8-13" easilyWould I be able to have a couple tangs in a 110 gallon reef tank?

In what tank the 75 or the 125?I believe your tank is an extra tall and ideally, you want length and width but dont let it stop you from having 4-5 tangs and be aware of growth sizes as an example, you dont want a sailfin, dussomierri or vlamingi which easily grow 8-13" easily
Tomini, gem, purple, yellow are safe size tangs.
