We are all entitled to our opinions. I just dont understand how liveaquaria lists a tomini at 70g and people put them in 75g tanks all the time... Yet youre saying a yellow tang in a 110 isnt .
Tangs - Tomini or Kole Yellow Eye?

Look at the difference in a full grown yellow and a full grown tomini. It's a very large difference. A yellow in a 6 foot 125 would be alright but far from sufficient I'm my opinion. Nobody bashed your opinion I'd appreciate the same courtesy.

Im sorry if you felt i was bashing your opinion. I just dont understand the reasoning. but fair enough. What i stock in my tank doesnt affect you and vice versa. All is good
To be fair huma I wasn't giving you advice on your tank. I was talking to the OP who agreed that his tank wasn't sufficient for a yellow tang.

OK, regarding the yellow tang, the 100 gal tank is a 5 ft tank. I have a 4 ft tank (yes, I know 110>100, but its about length).
Anyhoo, I went with a Tomini tang, I liked the colour and he is a bristletooth, which is what I was hoping for. I'll keep my eye out for a Whitetail, but I guess they're rare and expensive. He's in my 30 gal QT for a few weeks and eating well. I have put a few rock with some algae growing in there and he started eating right away.

Good choice.

I just picked up a yellow eye this weekend. I love his colors. I also have an orange shoulder and a yellow. I'm hoping to get a white cheek next month.

That's a very nice size ,
If I had room I would have kept my 125 g instead of the 75 that I have

I'm 3 months into a 75 upgrade and I'm already thinking about going bigger lol.. Terrible.
The kole is on the list for my last fish to add. (for this tank at least)

Nice, my 135g is my first tank. I'm building a 20g tall with 29g sump right now. I want the white cheek and blue. Then I'll be done. I'll probably top off my chronies and anthias
