Removing algae from the glass is a bit of a pain in the *ss. You have to keep up with it. If you get lazy and leave it a few days+ then you're in there up to your armpit with a scrubber.

Can you fill me in on how all your lights and pumps etc are plugged in! Thats a great looking tank. i've been wanting to put my tank in the middle of the room but am still working on hiding all the cords.

that size whent out the window also.. where did you ever get that you need a 4 or 5 foot tank for a tang?

I had a yellow in my 3 foot tank and it was fine. If you look it up the min size for an adult yellow is 45 gal. every tang has different requirments, I did have a yellow and a sailfin in my 90 gal (3 foot long) and sold the sailfin as I found it was a little small for both, but it was fine for the yellow, was over 6 years old when I took down the tank and gave him to the LFS. might still be alive in some one elses tank for all I know.

No need to jump down my throat man.... It's the general rule of thumb for the average tang.
