coolest tang for a 120 gallon

[buckofive]

i have a 120 gallon tank with a 60 gallon sump and ref. i would like to add a tang like a sohal or achilles but i think my setup is too small, if so what would be a nice tang to add.
i have in tank
1 foxface
1 coral beauty angel
2 perc clowns
1 yellow tail damsel

thank you

purples are really popular and would do well in that tank.

i would get some anthias.. more color and you can put them with no worries in a 120...

Actually an angelfish NOT A TANG. I would go w/ a kole tang, a small powder blue, or a purple tang. I have a flamefin tang. Super cool fish but very aggressive.

Actually the mimic tang IS a tang that mimics several species of dwarf angels and they are great reef fish and perfect tangs for a 120.

Ditto Kahuna, specifically, a Mimic Tang is the Juvenille form of the Chocolate Tanga great fish by everything anyone has said about them!!

Probably also face a lynching here, but... providing HIGHLY turbulent current in the tank will buy you some tang capacity. However, size is still size...

You cold do an Atlantic Blue...nice looking adults.

There are quite a lot of tangs that mimic centropyge when they're very small, not just chocolates (pyroferus?). Both acanthurus and Ctenochaetus.
A Ctenochaetus would go well in a tank like that, or a purple. Purples are always eyecatching character fish, but a bit aggressive. The other small Zebrasoma's are nice too

Ive got a purple in my 90g and I love him.

My purple is awesome and he seems to have plenty of room.

there is another great thread going on at the same time:

Assuming that you have the best filtration possible it is more an issue of swimming room with tangs. Creatively building your reef in a 120 gal can accomplish this--in my 110 it is high so I have build the reef at the back leaving a 4 foot stretch at the front. If you have a low tank then a central reef would be ideal--fish could swimm all around it and over it.

Sohal get way too big and aggressive for a 120. I think I would choose a purple in that tank.

[buckofive]

thank you all for your input!! i think ill look at the purple or mimic tang.

[32flavors]

both excellent choices!!
