Minimum tank size for tang

[redsea]

Right now i have a blue hippo in a 55 gallon, which I know is too small (he came with tank). I am thinking of upgrading around Christmas and was wondering what the minimum size tank would be.

A blue hippo requires a 180g tank, 6 feet long.

They really really need their swim room, they are one of the most active and larger of the tangs.

Well, keep in mind there are several 6ft long tanks. I have a Hippo in my 125

What I meant was a 6 foot tank minimum, with 125g being the smallest of them

Thank you all for your input!
