personally i would say 50 gal is too small for him, but thats my opinion

I think you'll find the tang will become more aggressive and will probably pace the tank more

I agree with everyone else, a 50 is just far too small for a purple tang.

Not to sound like the tang police but a 4 foot long tank IMHO is the smallest I would keep a tang in, they just really like to swim.

How big is your PT and how long do you expect to keep it in there before you find it a proper home? Will it be housed temporarily with other fish?

I have to agree I have a 120g and it's 4 feet long with a few tangs in it and honestly I find my tank is not long enough. 6 feet or more would be a lot better.
