The older version of the article that you replaced my revision with contains several factual errors. Replace my edit at your own peril.

Re: Yellow Tang
Your own source "Reef Corner" quoted a 50 gallon or larger being sufficient for the keeping of a single specimen. My argument comes from my own personal experience and the advice of other experienced individuals in the hobby. Experts in the marine aquarium industry, numerous experts on popular marine and reef aquarium internet blogs and myself, a marine and reef aquarist of over 10 years, agree that the best advice would be to house a yellow tang in a 55 gallon or 48" length tank as the minimum to house a single specimen, certainly larger tanks are even better. A diet of animal material on occasion is imperative for yellow tangs in captivity since they would not have nearly as much of the variation of food sources in the captive environment of a reef aquarium as they would in the wild. The original article reads as though yellow tangs are short lived in captivity with most specimens lost upon introduction and acclimation by aquarists. This simply isn't true from real world experience, assuming disease free specimens, correct acclimation methods, good water chemistry, a good diet, and enough space and suitable tank co-inhabitants.
