Help with 90 Gallon Stocking List

Dwarves are better. Had a few, never had them nip at corals!

Ive got one now with all kinds of corals. He doesnt touch any of them and he is wild caught

As the title suggests I would like some help with the stocking list of the upcoming reef tank I am going to start. The tank is 90 gallons and the measurements are 48x18x24. The livestock I plan to add are;

Pair of clownfish
Kole Tang
A Bristletooth Tang
Royal Gramma
Pair of Bangii Cardinal
Midas Blenny
Orage Spot Gobby
Melanarus Wrasse
Canary Wrasse
Fire Shrimp
Urchin
Assorted Clean up crew

I am just wanting to make 100% sure that the fish are compatible and that the list isnt too much for the tank. What also would be helpful would be the order in which to add the fish. I am planning to start the tank about 4 months from now. I have done SOOOOOOOOO much research and want to make sure that everything goes as correctly as possible. Thanks for your help!

One more tang and revisit any future stocking and more like a 150-180 tank

That melanarus wrasse may wreak havoc on you clean up crew. Was looking at getting one myself but was too risky. Have you considered fairy wrasses from the Cirrhilabrus genus??

Melanarus eat clean up crews? Only one my guy went after was a serpent star, he leaves everything else alone

as a rule, no. But I've read enough posts about them doing so. The local petco had a mated pair I was looking at but they had taken to eating LPS. To clarify, they weren't eating the LPS so much as just mauling them and ripping chunks out and spitting them out after doing so.

Unfortunately I think the tank is too small for a tang. I'd stick to smaller fish so you can enjoy a few more.
