Yellow Tang aquarium size

[reefdude]

I've read that it is recommended a yellow tang be in an aquarium 55 gallons or bigger. I have a 34 gallon reef set up and would like to put a yellow tang in but don't want to if the tank is too small. Of course if I can get away with it, it would be the biggest fish with possibly a wrasse or firefish. Any opinions on if it would work for a tang or not?

I wouldn't keep any tang in less than a 4 ft. tank. They are far too active in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice, upsetting as it may be!
