I wouldn't go smaller than a 55 or 75. The bigger the reef, the better it will do.

I would say a 6 foot long tank that is very well established. cbb are very hard to keep and many will die for no reason. Personaly i would stay away from them

Get a sailfin tang, they look just like them w/o the long beak. CB's are best left in the ocean. Too hard to keep and they just end up starving.

I got one in a 66 and he seems happy. Keep in mind I was lucky to find a very healthy specimen who eats frozen mysis and my tank was very well established
