Macro algae is something they love
They need a 6-7 foot tank

Yup. 6 foot tank required. Diet should consist of veggies and some meaty foods. Absolute ick magnets.

Isa 72 gallon good? And bad ick or not to bad ick. And what attracts the ick

Tangs need a tank 72" long to be happy

They are ick magnets. They have a very thin slime coat and get stressed very easily. They need atleast a 125g tank or a 6' tank. A lot of people say 180g for the extra width. I've seen these guys get over a foot long. And they never stop swimming. Definitely not in a 72.

Flame angel will be great for a 72, however are know to sometimes pick at corals if you have any.

^agreed. I think that'll be a great addition to a FOWLR and sometimes a reef if if it's a non coral nipper.
