55 Gallon Long vs 45 Gallon Tall

I recommend a 6ft tank for blue tangs (Dory). Going much smaller will be a problem in the long run. Honestly, a 75g will be a bit too cramped. I've tried it in the past and it just isn't fair to the fish.


I also have a 120 Gallon Tank that is housing a bearded dragon that i can move to another tank but that aquarium is 48x24x25. Do the tangs need the length or the area?
 
Length as they love to get up to speed. 6ft is the typical minimum.
 
i would recommend green chromis for starters. its a type of damselfish i think
