I am in complete agreement. When I'm able to get a much larger tank, that's on my list.

What do you think of sailfin?

Love my corals not sure want to take a chance

Do you mean Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Sailfin Tang

I would grab a desjardini if I were doing a sailfin, but a 75 is on the cusp of being too small of a tank for him...

The flame angel is a dwarf angel that grow to be about 4-6". A sailfin tang grows to be well over a foot!

Ok thanks it kills me when I go to lfs they tell you just bring it back if it gets too big for your tank. I am not buying to bring back I want it in my tank for a long time

I feel the same way.

It's also not good to put a fish in a tank that is too small to begin with, even if that fish is a juvenile. Some fish grow faster, and they do overall better when put in a tank that is the right size from the beginning.

So it isnt like freshwater they grow to the tank?

No, they keep growing. But smaller tanks do have an overall effect on the creature's health. They might not grow as fast in a smaller tank, just because they aren't as healthy.
