While I don't approve of people who keep large tangs in tiny tanks, I also don't usually agree with the self-proclaimed-holier-than-thou tang police folks.
And REALLY folks? Did anyone actually look through the article? That tank is a 36 x 18 x 18, and that Yellow tang has got to be no more than 4" snout to tail. It's definitely not an adult tang in a typical 30g tank. Look at the pictures - it definitely has swimming room.
Also, not to rain on your parades, but you'd think a guy with 22+ years of aquarium experience wouldn't willy nilly stick a tang in a tiny tank. He seems good at keeping fish too - a 16 year old clown and a 4 year old mandarin. Maybe, just maybe, he knows what he's doing?
FWIW, Nano-reef also featured a tank with a yellow tang sometime last year I think.
