pros--you nailed it
cons--they et pretty big and tend to move lots of sand around; usually only a problem when they discharge onto corals-- shouldn't be an issue for you.
I don't see any compatibility problem with the lineup you've described...some will claim that tangs should have a bigger home than a 90, but I think a Kole should do okay.

I bought a pair that I put in my 100 gallon. I have extremely high flow rate in my tank (20X) and everytime they let out a mouthful of sand, it was swept into the water column and went ALL over. My filter ended up being full of sand and my live rock covered with sand.
I did end up putting them in my 65 Gallon seahorse tank with minimal flow and they are quite content in there, and don't make too bad of a mess. So I guess my point is that if you have a lot of flow, then watch out. They do do a fantastic job of keeping sand clean!

i have one in my 60 reef and the only real issue that ive come across is that his sifting clouds my water up, not a huge deal, but an awsome fish. if you get a pair they will swim together and dance around each other
What are you planning to feed your diamond goby? The reason I ask is because I had one in a 90 and it never ate. It ended up getting very skinny and finally died. It was a very good sand sifter and was a very active fish. Mainly, my question is what do they eat because mine never seemed interested in mysis shrimp?
i am choosing a diamond goby over any other goby because my research has shown that they eat the best -
i 've been told they eat anything -
not true ?
i have formula 2 pellets , formula 2 flake , frozen mysys and frozen angel and butterfly diet foods -
hoping he eats at least one of those -
of course , i will make sure i see him eat at the lfs , prior to purchase
