Sohal's gets very big,,so do naso's
Regals are good looking tangs ,,,i think you'd be happy with it
They can get pretty big too...i never owned one ,,but people say they are one of the fastest growing tangs.

When you look to add tangs it`s best to add tangs with different colors and body shapes. I would think that the addition of a hippo or blue tang would be a good idea with a yellow tang. Different body shapes is always a good idea.

Ive read on many respected websites that a 100-125 will be fine for a blue tang as long as its not overstocked with a lot of avid swimers like tangs

I'm hoping to get one thats close in size to the one I have, and wishing for the best. The tank is pretty big so I think they can make do.
I'm probably gonna get a blue tang, depends on what they have in stock tomorrow.
I'm thinking on putting the fish in the 55g for a bit to make sure he is ok. Theres minimal live rock but I think I'd rather be safe than sorry. It's been quite awhile since the other fish died so I think I'm ready to slowly restock.
