Anticipating My 90 Gallon Build

[Brilliant_Barbs_21]

So my 90 gallon build is almost is progress. But I'm stumped on the stocking. I definitely want:
1 Yellow Prawn Goby
1 pair of ocellaris clowns
3 yellow tailed damselfish
1 green mandarin (will be added last)
5 longfin fairy wrasse
1 flame angelfish
And then possibly another tang or angelfish? First of all would all of the above plus the tang/dwarf angelfish be overstocked? It's going to have a 40 gallon sump, a large skimmer, refugium, lots of live rock, and plenty corals. If I can get others, does anybody have any idea for reef safe oddballs? My family loves the pretty fish, but I like the peculiar ones. They'll also have to be okay with small slow moving fish like the mandarin and maybe some gobies if I don't get the damsels. I'm stumped! Any ideas?

1 Yellow Tang, And then possibly anther large tang or angelfish? Bad idea in a 90 hate to see you lose fish

Oops!!!!! Doy I had tangs in my mind. The first one is supposed to say yellow prawn goby wow I'm stupid. Sorry hahahahahahaha I typed this really quick I will edit that

Not stupid. An over site lol Here's a good place to check out fish needs. Saltwater Fish: Marine Aquarium Fish for Saltwater Aquariums As far as over stocked im not sure im more of a coral person so i tend to under stock fish

So any ideas for oddballs anybody?

Long Nose Hawk

I would reconsider the damsels. Nasty little fish when they want to be. Maybe two or three Anthias instead?

mandarin needs a very stabilized colony copepods to thrive,
tang are very aggressive, I will say put it last
damsels ? hells no those fish are beautiful but they're bullies
consider some cardinals, anthias and chromis

+1

If added early on they can become bullies very quickly and they require a hell of a lot of work to remove. Plus IMO Anthias are gorgeous additions. Lots of movement and color

Yeah haha I was thinking this right before you guys commented haha. I remember when I got a three stripe in my 10 gallon and it killed every invertebrate I had. Anthias are a great idea. I'll have to be sure my QT is ready before I even think about getting them. So I made an updated list. I'll screenshot it from my notes.

Not sure about the foxface. I'll have to keep it well fed so it doesn't nip my LPS corals. And I believe this might be slightly overstocked anyways. The longnose hawkfish sounds like a good idea for a substitute of the tang or foxface.

The hawkfish wont take up nearly any space, they perch most of the time. I have a different hawk in each of my tanks, they are all so awesome! I have a flame hawk, falco pygmy and an arc eye. Each has their own personality and I cant pick one thats any cooler than the other lol. ( well maybe the flame hawk, he is uber awesome)

Wow great tank Definitely getting a hawkfish! What should I replace with it? And could I get more than one?

 

[Mudzie]

Thanks, I would stay with one myself but you could do the research on that....

 

[carey]

I would stick with one as well, they can be semi aggressive. here is my "sumo" the flame hawk

How about a 6 line wrasse

No I don't think any wrasse will fit because they can get aggressive with their food and may take the mandarin's coepods/amphipods.

 

[Spechty37]

That's true forgot about the mandarin my wrasse definitely does a number on my pods
