I have a 55 gal tank right now but am planning on upgrading here in the near future. I have a yellow tang now but do not want to overcrowd my tank with another one until I upgrade...but if I upgrade to say a 120 tank, but its still 48in long, would I be overcrowding with adding a any tang-sized fish since its the same length? I have seen many websites saying fish need 100 or so gal of water but would the swimming area not be basically the same, kinda maybe?
I guess what I am trying to get at is what fish would benefit from the extra width and height than the actual length of the tank?
