I currently have a 2.5"-3" juv. Pomacanthus angel swimming around in my 90.(I plan on upgrading in the next 6mn - 1yr. to a 150GAL) It is currently the only fish in the tank, which has been up and running since Nov. I have approx. 100LBs of live rock with plenty of hiding places. I was thinking about adding a (Acanthurus leucosternon) powder blue Tang ~4". I have been reading on WetWebMedia about the two of them and doing a crap load of Google searches and haven't found a concurrent answer.

There a some places that say that the PBT would be very aggressive towards the smaller Emperor while other just claim that the PBT requires perfect water params. Not a concern about the water, I have a skimmer rated for 150 and extremely stable params(0 0 0 8.3 78F CAL 370).

Knowing I am planing on moving up or selling the fish if need be for their health, could these two work?

The powder blue tangs seem to be very touchy, and I wouldn't try one, and the tank is a bit small for one, at that.
