Very Confused Yellow Tang Tank Size

[Lcars]

Hi everyone I have been researching alot lately and planning a big saltwater tank, and of course ran into a few bumps. The biggest is the constant controversy about the Yellow Tang's minimum aquarium size. It's my favorite fish so if I was going to setup a large aquarium, it would be a must have. But I just need it straight what size it could live a FULL life in without need for upgrade, since that's basically the fish I'm basing the tank around. Thanks

125 gallon tank that is 6 feet long, minimum. They swim a LOT. They constantly look for algae, so it would be beneficial to add in veggies to the tank every few days.

Agreed. 125 minimum. And you can have more than one tang with that size.

Actually, Tomini and Kole Tangs can live in a 75, but definitely not a Yellow Tang.

Yep, there are only a couple you can get into a 75g but for sure not a yellow tang. Sorry...
