I want a yellow tang.

Pick up a book "Marine Fishes" by Scott W. Michael and read for yourself. A Yellow tang is not recommended for anything smaller then a 75 gal tank. Can also check www.liveaquaria.com and they usually give some into on species/size and its needs.

LA is kinda bad also. They say a Volitan Lionfish only needs a 50 gallon tank. Well would a 12''+ fish look good in a 50 gallon tank? They want your money also.

Here is your reference, note that information from a sales site needs to be taken with a grain of salt being that the more people who can put a fish in their tank the more money the site takes. This link has no such agenda attached.
