You could accommodate a very small juvenile in a 30 gallon. However, an adult would be best off in a tank of at least 75 gallons. Tangs tend to do (and look) better in larger tanks.

You could expect it to reach about 7 or 8'' if I remember correctly. Temperament is typical of Acanthurus species; that is, generally non-aggressive towards fish of other genera and families but territorial towards other Acanthurus.
