No, powder blue tangs have a very large territory in the ocean and when placed in small tanks, they become very agressive and stressed out. I would advise against it.

I would say no as well. Its not the width its the length of the tank. a 125 would be better.

I agree withe the "no's". I wouldn't put even a tiny PB in a tank that small. IMO & IME: PBs are fairly easy fish to keep if you can keep the stress level down and having enough space is critical.

IMO, a 55 is much too small for either. A 55 is really a small SW tank and I'd suggest you look at smaller fish. I think everyone in this hobby can sympathize with you, we've all been there.
