Quest about tang in a 55 gal.

Ok, i keep hearing people on this site talk about how bad it is to have a tang in a 55 gal tank. Why is that??
We have a red sea purple tang in our 55 gal, and he's doing wonderful. (We rescued him from ***** for $15, so i couldn't pass that deal up). All 3 of our LFS says thats its fine to keep him with what we got in our tank. We've had him for about 4 months now, and he's not looseing any color (like i've heard) and seems to really like the company of our coral beauty. LOL
For fish, we have the tang, a coral beauty angel, and 2 OC clown fish.
Im not asking to be a smarty pants, i really dont understand, and would like to know.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and we are going to upgrade to a 75 gal in March. :D
Thanks again.

ty very much for that thread. That was kind of my thought on it too. Our tang seems to be very happy, and stress free. We even just moved 2 weeks ago, and had to move this tank, and im very happy to report that everything in our tank is doing wonderful. :D
