What kind of Tang can I get for a 120g reef tank?

[connpatd]

I've had the Blonde Naso Tang recommended to me, but I've read that it will get up to 18 inches and should be kept in a 135 or larger.

I'd love to get one of those, but in the event that it is not possible, my next choices are either a Powder Blue Tang or a Pacific Blue Tang. Lavender would be nice too if I could find one of those.

What do you think? Which would best be suited to my setup?

I plan to keep only one tang in a 120g tank with the following livestock

-1 Fairry Wrasse
-1 Lubbock Wrasse
-1 Golden Wrasse
-1 Sixline Wrasse
-2 False Perc Clowns
-3 Firefish
-1 Diamond Goby

-1 BTA (that recently split into 2)

-1 Arrow Crab
-1 Emerald Crab
-1 Porcelan Crab
-6 small Blue Leg Hermits
-Various snails

I also have some corals

-Hammer
-Frogspawn
-Toadstool
-Mushrooms
-Monti cap
-Elkhorn
-Brain
-Elegance

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

Oh, I'm more concerned with the size of the tang, how much swimming around they do, and will it be ok in a 120g tank.

Those tangs are pretty peacefull with my existing fish, although they'll fight with other tangs.

A tang is the last thing I want to get. I just want to make sure that it won't be too big for me in a few years.

yellow, purple, or chevron.
Your 120 is only a four foot tank right?

[connpatd]

yes, 4'x2'x2'

Most Zebrasoma tangs: flavescens (yellow), xanthurum (purple), rostratum (black), gemmatum (gem), scopas (scopas), etc. Avoid sailfins.

Kole and chevron tangs stay pretty nice sized for those tanks as well as the yellow/purples. Powder tangs are borderline just because of length of swimming vs. actual gallons.
