Well I'm about to socking my tank and here's what I have
Purple tang
Fairy wrasse
Pinkspott goby
Chromis
What I want is
Copper banded butterfly maroon clown and a dart fish or a manderin. Will this be too much bio load? I have a good skimmer and do weekly water changes. I also have a 30 gallon sump half full. What do you guys think?
 
No to the copperband butterfly for two reasons. One being that you have a purple tang which is your one larger sized fish. Secondly they are difficult to care for. The maroon clown should work, but the dartfish probably won't because they are shy fish. They would stress right away. Have you QT'd?
 
No butterflies are a medium sized fish and IMO a 90 gallon tank can't handle more than one medium fish. The purple tang needs a bigger tank as is so it isn't wise to add another medium fish taking up its space.
 
Unless your mandarin is eating prepared foods you'll want to wait until your tank matures and there are ample populations of pods for it to eat.
 
How did the purple tang get back on the Stocklist? Why do you ask advice if you only take the answer you want to hear?
 
How many times are you going to ask about your stock list? You have been given ample good adivice on here in the recent past. Why don't you re-read all the threads you have already started? You will find your answers there.
 
The skeletor eel was so small he slipped through the scene over my tank. I also just ordered a 125 rr tank and I'm going to keep two tangs and a few other fish in there. Thanks guys for the help.

Hopefully we won't see 10 more threads asking what fish to keep in the new 125g.

You are moving too fast. Slow down! How long has your 90 been set up? I personally can't wait until my tank is established and stable. I want the tank that way for awhile before I go for an upgrade. The 125 gallon tank can take up a lot of money. Trust me! I have to pay for the whole thing myself and right now I am running short on cash. Good thing it is almost summer so I can get a job. Slow down and take it easy so you can enjoy your tank and what you have right now. Having a second tang will not make a huge difference in what you watch in your tank.

Sorry this may have been a little snooty. Didn't mean it to come out that way.
 
The 90 has been set up for a few months ,but it was bought used and was setup before hand. I'm going pretty slow. And the skeletor was not a waste it was not my fault it got through 1/4 inch netting. The smallest I could find.
 
Eels are a little tricky. The previous owner of my tank had a moray in it and it got out on almost a nightly basis. He finally took it back when his daughter touched it and got a nip. Good thing I didn't have to deal with the eel!!
 
Dont consider a mandarin. Especially if you considering a wrasse. You havent mentioned anything about establishing a fuge. The wrasse will outcompete the mandarin for food, whether its eating prepared foods or not.

The wrasse can demolish a pod population pretty fast
