I had him for about 4 Months, they dont grow extremely fast, and depending on how many fish would be in the 33G he could be in one for a while.. after a big tank crash killing everything.....
 (power outage) I got a new little guy, about 2 inches in november and now he is about 3.5 inches...Where abouts are you located? just out of curiousity.... Hope that helps.. Kris

The decision is in your hands ultimately..If you are prepared to do whatever maintenance is neccisary to keep the parameters good, then I dont see a problem..Look at the tank of the month, he has a yellow tang in his tank, and I know many other reefers with tangs in a 33G-38G..

A tang is a huge bio load for a 32G, and the fish will probably not be very happy. With a tank that size you are better sticking to smaller fish like your clowns. If you want to keep corals you will be forever battling nitrates in a tank that small. Tangs love to eat.... and poop!

the biggest issue with tangs in smaller tanks is the swimming room. yes they are 'dirty' fish but the are also very active fish. like kris was saying it is ultimately your decision and everything else is people's opinion. just research the fish you are looking at and decide whether you are just going to keep the fish alive or if the fish will thrive in the tank.

The whole idea of creating a reef system is to find the correct balance and enable your fish and corals to live a happy stress free life. Fish need room to roam, otherwise they get stressed out and will probably get sick or die.
Some people will get lucky and have an oversized fish that does well in a small tank. But do you think their happy. Go with smaller, more colorful fish for now and if you think you absolutely have to have a tang - get a bigger tank.
