By all means, transfer your powder brown to the 72. After seeing the size and the swimming area needed for my powder blue, I like to think of a 100 gal tank for a minimum for tangs. But I'm sure your tang will be happier in a larger tank. Hopefully you used water from the established tank and have live rock so the bow front is "pre-aged".

If it's broke, don't fix it---hide it.
