I have a 90g tank with a sump (i dont no how big). I have alot of live rock and i also have some corals. I have a big colony of green star pollups and alot of zooanthids. i also have a clown:fish2:. Right now i am also have a proble with aptasia and red slime. i dont know how to fix the slime but raise the kh or the treatmet. for the aptasia i am getting some pepermet shrip to kill it and i also have aptaisa killer. So what kinda fish can i put in? and what kinda corals. any ideas to kill aptasia and red slime are welcome. thanks
 
I have the apastasia x, and my cyano is jest starting to form is jest getting on my rocks i would like to get it to go away fast.
 
using ro/di water? high iron and low alk could cause cyano, water changes will help hopefully it doesnt spread to much
 
fish are your choice and depend on the type of corals you want to keep. Angels will eat your zoas as will butterflies and a few other fish.
Your tank is also big but not big enough for a few types of fish so I would not recommend Dori.

I would do a lot of research in different fish and see what interest you.
 
what about a fox face

A foxface would be fine in a 90.

Rabbitfish can eat, or nip at, soft and LPS corals. Some never do it. Some are fine for awhile then start. I have a 2 bar rabbitfish that I have had for about a year with no problems. Last week he decided to start eating my zoas. He has good taste as he only eats expensive ones. I am going to have to tear my tank apart this week and catch him. I'm not looking forward to it.
 
In general, just about any wrasse, damsel, chromis, goby, or blenny.

Centropyge angels are fine, although they may nip.

Dottybacks, basslets, cardinalfish, hawkfish are also fine.

Obviously, you can't mix and match all of them and some won't do well with others but those are generally rated well in a 90 gal. Once you have a few picked out, people can offer better suggestions and talk about compatibility between different fish.
