    THANKS!
    I decided to put tangs on the list for two reasons

    1. They are very common fish that people like to have in their tanks
    2. I is very common to see tangs in places where space is no where near what it has to be
    In addition,
    I am going to over exagerate the type of space tang need because you cant have too big of a tank for a tang ;)

    lol These are just generalizations, but ideals for the fish, Assuming Adult sizes. Most of the fish can be kept in smaller systems then listed. However not for life.

    But still I am going to keep what you said because it is better to place them in a too high gallon bracket than one that is too low

    Indeed.

    I would place some of those large angelfish in the higher brackets you have in the 100-120 bracket.
