Too small for a PBT?

[Rockster2599]

Hi all,
I've just got myself an upgrade :thumbsup:
I've always wanted a Powder Blue Tang but I'm not sure my tank is big enough to house it long term?
it's 54"x24"x30" (L x W x H) so about 170 gal in the display without displacement.
What do you think, is the lack of length going to cause problems long term?

Long term, a PBT will need a 6' or longer tank.
