So I've had my 93 gallon cube tank now for around 3 years. About a year and a half a go I had about 9 fish, but do to flukes I lost some of them, and after treating with prazi pro I never thought about restocking. Now I have had 5 fish for a while, and I really want to get some more fish in there. This is my current list
-red head Solon fairy wrasse
-yellow coris wrasse
-two clownfish-
-orange spot prawn goby
I would like to add the following fish
-melanarus wrasse
-one spot foxface
-yellow Kole eye tang
-Longnose Hawkfish
-maybe some Cardinal fish

For filtration I have a reef octopus slimmer rated for 150 gallons. I have a refugium as well. I also have a carbon and phosban reactor for my tank. There is about 80 lbs of live rock. All fish that will be added will by quarantined before adding. Just wanted opinions on the list, and if this would be too many fish too add. Thanks everyone!

List looks good to me with the exception of the Longnosed hawkfish. I'd research that one more. Depending upon the temperament of the one you get it might prey on some of your smaller fish and if you have any shrimp in the tank.

Ya I have had some before, and some would be totally fine, but I have had others eat my shrimp. However none have killed my fish, but I will look into that
 
The Melanarus wrasse can bring some trouble in the tank with the other wrasses.
Maybe a Blue star leopard wrasse is a better choice and stays a bit smaller too long term.
Don't know much about a long nose so no comment on that.
 
I think the list looks good.

LN hawks reputation for being hunters os pretty overstated. Consider adding two,they pr readily, and are cool to see perch together.

Melanurus wrasses can 'throw their weight around', but in most cases are fine.

Can I just buy two or do I have to try and buy a male and female to get them to pair?
 
That would be really cool to have a pair of Longnose Hawkfish. What do you think of the foxface and tang? If I add the tang it will be last, but I don't know if my tanks too small for them.
 
I think that's a great list as well. I think a kole tang will be fine especially if u buy one on the smaller side. I think that would be neat as heck with the long nose hawkfish pair. I didn't know they paired easily.
 
Btw, I'd love to see a pic of the orange spot prawn goby. Also, how have u managed success? You don't see many success stories with those guys.
