You should be able to keep a baby in a 20 gal long tank for 3-4 months, depending on how fast it grows. But I don't recommend keeping it any longer than 4 months. A 6-7 month old dragon should be large enough for their adult cage (15" )

What size should the Adult Aquarium be?? I have a 7" Bearded Dragon in a 50gl. thinking this will be good for a long while, it has a 36"x16" foot print and 17" tall 150Watt basking light and a 24" repti-Sun 7% UVA/UVB and will replace the bulb once a year with the rest of my bulbs

Thanks
Cecil

For adult dragons minimum cage size should be 4'x2'x2' for a single adult, large if more than one are housed (though I think it's getter to house all adults separately, or only females together)
