While I was looking at some tangs I noticed some people say a 6 foot tank is the best tank while others say you need a certain amount of volume( e.g. 180 gallon), now i know a 180 is 6 foot, my question is does it have to be a 180 or can it be just any 6 foot tank? I ask in reference to blue tangs.
