A very short while as they grow large fast and they are the type of tang that require the most swimming space.
It is not a good idea because you'll get attached to it and will have to sell it. That's why I am selling my hippo tang because I want to do it before I get too attached to it. I also have a 75 gallons reef and my hippo which is not supposed to grow fast, grew 1 inch in 2 months. it's now 3 1/2". Those fish need a lot of food and if they don't get it they will be stunted and difformed and will suffer from HLLE. If they do get the food, they will grow fast.
