I had a small Tang in my 34G tank knowing that it was too small for it long term.... I knew that I was upgrading within the next 6 months. The Tang was happy and fat in the 34G and is now very happy and very healthy in my 150G. If someone were to say they wanted a Tang and had NO plans to upgrade then it would naturaly be a bad idea.

I think you'll do fine with a Desjardini, particularly since the Regal was there first and the sailfin will likely still be a baby. Mine has grown up now, and is definitely the boss, but he really doesn't pick on the other tangs. Occasionally he'll have a little tiff with the foxface, but the foxface knows how to defend himself just fine. (envision a tang swimming away puckering his lips after getting a taste of spiney fins)

95% of people who say they "are upgrading soon" either don't have the money for it, have pipe dreams, or end up upgrading much later than planned. Buying a fish with plans to upgrade is a horrible idea. Just wait!!!! It's not that difficult! Us First World people always want, want, want, and not later - NOW, NOW, NOW!!! Get the fish when the upgrade is DONE!

There is always plan B, sell it back to the LFS for half of what you paid for it, done it a bunch of times while trying to find out the perfect fish mix for my tank.
