Only big fish are the tang.... Maybe the fox face.... Nothing over 7", most are 3"... Got 9.

I may be just being conservative but I think youre pretty much at youre max.

thats alot of fish for that tank, not just in size but in bioload too.

Just my opinion though, others may say to add more fish even. i think I figured on 9 fish max in my 90g. and some are kinda small.

K. I'll slow it down and focus on corals!!!! Lol... Btw... I bought my lights.. Aquacave had everything in stock, so I went with them. Also gave me a discount for getting bulbs and brackets. I'm thinking of getting a skimmer from BRS.. Any suggestions?

Part of the reason I returned mine, sop unpredictable. lol Mine never once moved from his spot but it was always a constant worry for me.
