90 Gallon Stocklist

[Tjsmoot]

I'm getting close to having my new 90 gallon reef ready for fish. The list I have created seems overstocked to me, and I was wondering your opinions. Some of the fish I already have from my previous reef that will be transferred. Any suggestions as to what to take off or possibly even add?

A pair of Ocellaris Clownfish (already have)
1 Bangaii Cardinal (already have)
1 Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse (already have)
1 Yellow Wrasse
1 Royal Gramma
1 Starry Blenny
1 Shrimp Goby-either Yellow Watchman or high fin (possibly with pistol shrimp)
1 Tomini Tang

Thanks

To me the list looks fine. I assume by Yellow Wrasse, you're referring to Halichoeres chrysus. Just keep in mind that it will pick off all fan worms and maybe the occasional small hermit/snail when it gets larger. I'd recommend slowly added them over time and just keep an eye on your levels during that period.

Thanks for the response. And yes that was the fish I was referring to as the yellow wrasse. I am aware of the risk with the yellow wrasse and will not add any fan worms. Any other responses are very much appreciated

Everything seems compatible nice list!

Thanks AuburnTiger1! I've been working on it for a few months when I first had the idea of this new tank. If there are no objections by anyone to this or any problems with it, I will go with it.

Welcome, just remember to add them slowly.

Sounds like a good list. I have a pair of clowns and a kole tang in my 90g and they scuffle from time to time and my female clown will end up with a cut here and there. I assume that Tomini's have similar temperaments. The female clown was established in the tank for about 4months before I added the tang then added the male clown a month later.

Take it slow with the fish and make sure you have an adequate skimmer.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely take it slow and watch for any aggression between the fish.

I think the list looks great. Tominis get a little big for a 4' tank but it's probably considered ok.

I don't want the tang to be stressed at all. Does anybody else think the tang is pushing it for a 90 gallon?

I personally think that a tomini would be ok in a 90, I would add something for some extra movement, maybe like 3-5 of some sort of a chromis

 

[Tjsmoot]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I believe chromis usually kill each other off until there are 1 or 2 left, and I think the yellow wrasse and the tomini tang will provide enough movement.
