I have a 4' x 4' tank x 30 inch tall tank. Is that large enough for a Pomacanthus imperator?
4 years ago, I had a Goldflake, Flame and Coral Beauty. Now I am just down to the coral beauty. The Flame was a victim of aggression (not sure if it was an angel or another fish) and constantly beat up, survived but never looked good. The Goldflake looked healthy and thriving until the day he died - no idea what happened. If I add another angel, I am worried the coral beauty may cause problems. An emperor has been on my fish-want list since I started this hobby 15 years ago and I've never tried one.
I also lost a Desjardini and Australian stripey last year, and haven't bought a fish since.
This is a weird tank right now. I have an Australian tusk, Melichthys indicus trigger, miniatus grouper, bird wrasse, 3 yellow tangs, kole tang, and toby puffer. Tank is almost all Acropora, with a huge magnifica anemone - other corals haven't done well for me. So basically a combination of ultra-clean SPS and huge predatory fish only that probably shouldn't work but it does. So I can see the advice not another big fish, but I don't want to add anything the grouper will eat.
