Idea for calculating tang tank size- experts, please chip in

[Betta132]

I had an idea for calculating the general tank length a tang will need. Take the adult length, not the baby length, and subtract three.
For example, 8" yellow tang - 3 = 5' tank
10" blue tang - 3 = 7' tank
16" dussie tang - 3 = 13" tank
Does that seem like a good approximate? I know some of the really active tangs will need more space and a few would tolerate less, but it seems like it would be useful if we had a general measuring stick for tangs.

There is a stickie here on 'tanks for tangs'; I see no reason to reinvent the proverbial wheel.

I know we already have that, but I can't hand people links in real life. I need to know if this is a semi-accurate tank size finder.

Print a bunch of copies of it and hand them to people. Lol
