    No. But here they are: 48" L x 18" D x 25" high

    I'll add them to the first post, too.

    I somehow missed this to, if you haven't figured out your plumbing setup yet go check out my 90g build I like the plumbing layout I did, was really simple the only regret I have is I had issues getting water over to the fuge, Should put a T in splitting off equally to the skimmer side and fuge side then just dial back the fuge to the water pressure you want
    I would recommend against the super skimmer though I have one in my 58g and I can tell you after 1 1/2 years it gives me fits, already replaced the needle wheel once and already having issues with the 2nd one and I take the entire thing apart around once every 45 days to clean it

    Your tank's volume is 12.5 cubic ft. (21600 cubic inches)
    It will hold 93.375 Gal. of water.

    lol, I like that calculator, That will be fine for a tang or two of the smaller variety, mind you mines 48x24x24. And you know what I got.

    Oooh...so it's over 90 gallons! Fancy that. :)

    I could possibly even have two tangs? I'm worried about fighting. But I love tangs!

    If you get 2 smaller ones I would assume so, Ive heard of people keeing tangs for quite some time in 55g's. Worse case scenerio you could always trade them in for a new tang. if they get to big and cramped.

    I've been thinking about removing my foxface from my tank, because hes so big and slow moving, He makes all the tangs mad.

    I was gonna get a caribbean blue if I couldnt find an achilles after winter.. Beautiful fish, fun color change. :)

    However should have a 100g+ tank... Cause it likes to swim. Seeing how its maxed out size is 9 inches... I dunno... Our Petco has a small one right now... So cute and the only tang there without ich lol. I have a picture I think...
