    Generally 55+ with 75 being ideal .... I think you will be just fine. Tangs need longer tanks more so than taller ones so that they can swim moe freely.

    If you are referring to a kole tang, then yes, 75 is large enough. They require plenty of live rock to graze on. They are considered herbivores, and some can be challenging to get them to eat prepared foods. If buying from a LFS, ask to see if it eat before you purchase. Do plenty of research on it's diet and requirements before adding any fish.
