Ok so i currently have a small yellow tang in a 75 gallon tank (48" long) i am upgrading to a 93 gallon cube (30" long). While the total volume is larger i worry that the decrease in vertical swimming space could be a issue. Can anyone provide me with experience of advice as far as this goes the stock in he tank is:
2 mocha clowns
2 fire fish
1 mandarin goby
2 dalmation molies
1 melanarrus wrasse
1 Lyretail Anthia
1 Yellow tang

These fish have all been living in this tank together for a year i realize changing the aquascape/tank could disrupt that so i am trying to be as careful/ safe as possible with this. Any and all advice is welcome on this subject
 
A standard 75, 48” x 18”, will give a total swimming space of 66” or 165cm.

Your cube will be 30” x 30”, will give a total swimming space of 60” or 150cm.

I’m not sure. Ask.
 
The 75 would be better than the 30" cube for the yellow tang. My opinion, of course.
 
I have a 60”x36”x24”, and it’s about as small as I want for a tang, that’s just my opinion versus my personal experience.

FWIW, I do have a yellow, a lavender, and a purple in mine.
