I started my 90 gallon tank about a month ago and would like some help with my fish list, when to add what, will they make good tank mates? I currently have 5 blue green chromis,a clown, and one turbo snail. I really would like a fairy wrasse, a yellow tang, a coral beauty, and possibly a bangaii cardinal. Also any advice on clean up crew?? Thanks in advance for any help!

sounds good what are you trying to do with this ie FOWLR or a reef
clean up crew more Turbos, Nassarius snails, hermits, brittle stars(the smooth ones), blenny or blennies if you want, emerald crabs, Blood red fire shrimp...i could go on...but you get the jist...if you want to keep more agressive fish then you would have to change this a little

I'm doing a FOWLR tank. I wasn't sure if my wish would work or not. I'm getting more of the diatom bloom again which is weird because my levels haven't changed at all. The last one lasted about 2 weeks. In what order would you add to my tank? I heard that the tang should go last, and that the coral beauty needs a tank that is at least 4-6 months old. Would it be ok to add the fairy wrasse or cardinal in a couple of weeks? I've been checking my levels every two days and they haven't changed even after I did about 20% water change. I started my tank Mar 12.

more often than not, the Tangs go in first. They're very hardy and alot of people use them to help cycle... The Tang will also graze on the algae growing on your live rock and will thus help control any unwanted blooms.
Specimens from Hawaii (from what I've read and heard) do the best.
good luck!

wow they are hardy in a well established tank...vunerable to ich and Hole in the head a lateral line disease
i would add 5 turbos 2 emeralds and 10 hermits...just to start you would add on to this as time goes on of course...fish wise a blenny or a couple juvinile bangaii cardinals...but for sure get that cleaner crew in there first...you could probally add fish every week to week and a half if you keep up on your water changes and water test ok
