90 Gallon Reef Stocking

[BennJabb]

I have a 90 gallon mixed reef and I'm trying to keep a low bio-load. All current fish are perfectly healthy and there are no disputes between territory. This is my current stock list:

1x Mystery Wrasse
1x Pink Spotted Watchman Goby
1x Firefish
1x Banggai Cardinal
1x Spotted Madarin

These are the fish I am for sure getting in the future:
2x clowns
1x Blenny

These are the fish I want but have questions about:
2-3x Anthias
1-2x Gobies
1x Bristletooth Tang

Questions:
1) What species of Anthias are easy to take care of, peaceful, and would thrive in a 90 gallon system?
2)I have a Pink Spotted Watchman Goby, would he fight with another goby of a different species?
3)I had a Bristletooth Tang but he sadly passed away due to unknown reasons. Are there any species of Bristletooth Tangs in particular that are easy to take care of?

The 2 gobys in a 90g maybe a problem as far as Anthias the lyretails are relatively hardy. A Tommi tang would be a good confidante for your size tank, since they grow to be the smallest of all the tangs

You may have problems with a second goby, unless you successfully pair it with your current goby. A tomini tang would fit well in your tank, as they stay relatively small when mature.

Frankly, you aren't going to have a low bioload if you add all these fish to your tank. A couple more small fish, and I think you'd be at the high end of a low bioload if not into a medium bioload.

Like Ambition mentioned above you will be into the medium bio load with adding the fish you mentioned above, what kind of skimmer are you running?

I have a Reef Octopus DNW110 4" Recirculating Protein Skimmer

That will be a sufficient skimmer with a medium bio load
