Ok, so I know that it can be important in what order you add fish but can't find a ton of info about it. If you have links, etc let me know.

Anyway, my 90g/25g sump has been up with live rock and live sand for about 2 months and cleanup crew has been added and all parameters are spot on.

There are a handful of fish that I'm certain to get...
1) Sailfin Tang
2) Flame Angel
3) Brown Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
4) Butterfly fish of some kind
Etc..

I know Sailfin Tang should be added last, but any other guidelines pertaining to the others? Particularly the dwarf lionfish?

Thanks!
 
Generally speaking, add the most aggressive fish last...

Make sure you qt all livestock before adding to dt...
 
In your case, butterfly first, flame angel second, and lion third.

You will need to skip salfin tang as it grows far too big for your tank. It requires a minimum of 8-foot, 240g tank.
