I have the following fish planned for my 90g reef-ready FOWLR (basically meaning a reef with no corals yet :P heh)

Flame Angel
Ocellaris Clown
Blue Tang
Yellow Tang
Fairy Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Sixline Wrasse
Lawnmower Blenny

I am tryign to decide which to put in first. I will be ordering the first ones this upcoming week assuming the cleaning crew keeps doing well and I get my water change done which I have planned. All the levels are appropriate and I think everythign is ready to go!

I was thinking I would start with both tangs (to prevent any territory agression and to make sure they are workign together well) and maybe the Ocellaris Clown because they are supposed to be pretty hardy. My last fish wil be the Flame Angel and maybe the Lawnmower Blenny right before him.

Any ideas on this or if I should go in another order? Also, how logn should I be waiting in between fishes to add more? I don't want to overload the system but I am not sure how long is a good amount of time.. one week apart? two?

Thanks for the help and input


edit: heres a shot of my tank as it stands (water was still a bit cloudy here from the snails moving around sand but its cleared up now)

I would, first of all ,only do one Tang in a 90...the Yellow would be a better choice..I would not place a Sixline with ANY other Wrasse or similar shaped fish...bad idea!

As far as order

Clowns
Fairy Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Blenny
Tang
Flame


I put a Hawaiian Flame in my 75 this weekend...I have to be very careful on what I add due to my Arc-eye Hawkfish [he was going to be my last fish but I could NOT resist this Flame!!] The Flame went directly to the Hawkfish and gave him the ole 'in your face' tailflip!! He let the Hawkfish know immediately that HE would NOT be bullied!!

Get a Hawaiian Flame if possible...much hardier and I am really loving the more red color!!
