If the ratings are in line to how tangs are rated then it is grosly under sized. for instance a yellow tang is listed as a min tank of 40 gal. where almost every species of anthias is min 50 or bigger. this is all in adition to there frequent eating habbits which means you need to feed them a minimum of 2 times a day preferable 3 or more, But seeing as you are retired I think you can handle that part of it.
you've heard of the tang police well I am the anthias police
