Any Ctenochaetus tang would be suitable for your size tank i.e. Tomini/Bristletooth or Kole tang.
Tangs for beginner?

+1 on that. Love my Midas Blenny. And IF I had a 75, I would tankmate it with a Two Spot Bristletooth Tang. Very cool looking fish.

I have a four foot 120 gal. and I won't even think of adding any tang. they are easily stressed and prone to ich. they need room and lots of it. there are so many choices of beautiful fish that are far less trouble. I love tangs but imo anything less than six feet is just a crap shoot. yes, some can be kept in a 75, but look in the disease section and most problems are with tangs.

I agree

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it is not completely accurate to throw all Tangs into one category. Some are relentless swimmers and get huge, while others are not. I kept a Pacific Blue and a Yellow in the same tank. It was a obvious within a year that the Blue needed more room that I had. It never stopped swimming back and forth and back and forth. Relentless. The Yellow on the other hand was more of a curious swimmer. I have observed, but not kept the Bristol Tooths, and they seem like even more curious swimmers. Not needing the huge swim track of the Blues and such, but more into caves, arches and the like. Still, the larger the tank the better, but I think a four foot tank would be fine for some Tangs, and not for others.

Many guys in fish stores will tell you anything to sell fish. I have a 90g with a Kole Tang. My tank's the same length as yours and is just enough length for the Kole to swim back and forth, but I would never put in another Tang, nor anything other than a Bristletooth. They really do need more room, length not gallons.
