First of all, I think I'm going to be getting a 90 gal tank instead of the smaller tank I had originally planned. It'll be a significantly tighter fit for the apartment I am renting but as a beginner I'd rather not go below 75 gallons. I am considering a number of carnivorous species including Gobies, Blennies, Wrasses, Hawks and the Royal Gramma. The problem I have with feeding carnivorous fishes is that while I can order live and frozen foods from Chinese retailers, I don't have the space in my apartment for a refrigerator. In that case, I am extremely concerned about making sure that whatever carnivorous dishes I keep are able to maintain a healthy diet, as I have absolutely no intention of sustaining them using only flakes and pellets. This is going to be a bummer for me so if anyone knows what to do, please let me know.
Furthermore, would a Coral Beauty be okay in a 90-gal tank? Is it Reef safe? Is it hardy? I have the same questions about another fish I want, the Yellow Coris Wrasse (my sand bed will probably be 3" thick so should be OK for it).
Even with omnivorous species that I plan to keep (Clownfish, maybe Coral Beauty if Reef safe) I intend to give them meaty foods and not just flakes and pellets (most likely pellets>flakes). I also want a reef tank instead of a FOWLR because corals are beautiful, so it'll be fish and corals and inverts.
