i have a 130d with corals and 2 clarki clowns. Do you think a yellow eyed tang would be ok or is the tank too small?

I usually try to take into account the Minimum Tank Size: Recommendations here...

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Kole Yellow Eye Tang

but with great maintenance this imo this is a good general rule - I have a small yellow tang in my RSM 250, some think a 65 gallon tank is too small for one, mine seems happy & healthy - not stressed, part of that I attribute to proper nutrition - in my 130D I felt it was to small, but this is just my thinking, if it helps

I have a Kole in my 250. I chose that one because it is the smallest of the tangs. The minimum tank size onit is 70 gallons, but I figured I was pretty close. I love yellows and powder blues. The yellows don't get as large as the powder blues, but I was afraid the yellow would get to large. I actually would re home the Kole if I could catch him. He is the bully of my tank.
