Ok I'm still pretty new to SW reef keeping ( 6 months ) and am stuck between my urge to get a yellow tang ( fav fish ) and the fear that he will out grow my tank . I have a 55g with 50 lb of rock. And my LFS ha a tiny yellow tang , I am wondering how fast SW fish grow and will they always grow to max size , I have had my Clarkie clown since cycling ( fish in , knowing what I know now would not have done that to him ) so for the last 6 months I have seen now growth in him an I have seen other Clarkies 3X his size but my lil guy hasn't changed, so I'm just wondering if the tang will take several years to reach max size ... If so I'd be happy to have a tang for a few years and then donate to a LFS for a bigger home.
