Depends on the species of bamboo shark.
also depends on the tanks footprint - not gallonage.
the smallest available species of bamboos are the Arabian & Grey(sometimes called gray-banded) - either can survive in a 150 custom built(not standard) - but even then it still a bare minimum.
And by the way - move the tang & clown(possible threat to the shark's health).

sorry for chiming in, but why does he need to move the tang?

In a 150 the bioload is nearly maxed out just with the shark(when it gets near adult size), even with the smaller species. The tang adds more to that load - so in effect your tank is in overload.
Now if you plan to move the shark to the 500 gallon. Then keeping the tang is quite possible.
But the clown needs to go for a different reason - clowns like damselfish are very aggressive & have been known to pick on sharks.
