90 gallon tank build

[bing_ph]

Am currently in the build stage of a 90 gallon tank and prospectively will be housing mainly soft corals. With that also I have plans of having the following fishes:

2 clown fish
1 HYT
1 blue tang
1 sunburst anthias
1 foxface
1 gobie
1 six line wrasse
1 royal gramma

Tank will be supported by
40 gallon sump with refugium
RO 110 skimmer
Biopellet reactor
Jebao DCT 6000 return
2 Kessil A360WE

Can my build support my planned livestocks?

Suggestions and comments will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Decent setup, but that's a lot of fish in a small tank. Particularly if it's your first tank. (I don't know.)

I would make sure you go slowly in adding them...one at a time with at least a month (longer is ok too!) between additions so you can see how they and the tank do with each other and vs your husbandry.

thanks mcaroll.

yes i will make sure that i will be very very slow and careful when adding my livestocks....have grown patience thru the years....hehehehe

been out of the hobby for the last 12 years and learning the ropes again....a lot of things have changed since then

thanks for the nice words @ethridge78 , @mdbannister , @aythatguy26 ....

both rockscapes have a base at the bottom to stabilize them ... so far so everything looks good
