Yellow Tang 40g
I dont have much experience with tang but i was told if i put an island of rock in my 36" tank then it would be able to swim ok because it would be like a race track would this be ok?

if it was a small tang, you could get away with it but they grow fast and really should be in a bigger tank, id say at least a 90g

4 ft tank could be a 75, 90 or 110 most likly, if your setting up the other tank then you should be fine

I would just wait until you get the new setup running. Yellow tangs come in all the time so no need to rush it.

Hate to say it, but a 36 inch tank is just going to be really tiny for a tang. Problem is not just that they get big and need lots of space to swim, they also can be pretty territorial. I think you would be hard pressed to get another fish in the tank with him for very long.
07Kar93, the feeling you have for the yellow tang is called anticipation. Its the greatest part of this hobby. You can imagine how perfectly he would look and dream about how interesting he would be. Reality is seldom so generous. Enjoy the anticipation as long as you can stand. Get your new tank running and then add one. Trust me, the anticipation you will create while setting up your large tank is going to dwarf what you feel for a single measley Yellow Tang.
