Hello all, finally moving up from a 90g and 40b into RS3XL.

These are the fish I currently have between the two and some information about their behavior so far.

40b
2x Ocellaris Clowns (perfect harmony with the damsel)
1x Blue Damsel (perfect with clowns for over 1 year now)
1x Neon Dottyback (this fish can live in a sump [but in all honestly will be going to a new home])
1x Aiptasia Eating Filefish (who really just eats yellow polyps)

90g
1x Purple Tang
1x Yellow Tang
1x 2 Spot Bristletooth Tang
1x Tomini Tang
1x Yellow Watchman
1x Pearly Jawfish
2x Melanarus Wrasse (1 is significantly smaller)
1x Yellow Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)
1x Silver Belly Wrasse (Halichoeres leucoxanthus)
1x Red Coris Juv (Coris gaimard)
1x Splendid Pintail Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus isosceles)

All of the creatures in the 90g have lived 95% peacefully together(last addition was 9 months ago), plenty of line of sight breakers and separate areas to live.

I'm fine rehoming things if needed, my only requirement from the lady is a Blue tang now that I have a larger system (go figure)
I've wanted a coral beauty and the white tail bristle tooth tang for a while but if its not advisable I can live with that.


Its going to have the RSK-900 and I feed heavy/remove heavy so everyone is always full, nitrates around 12-17ppm HHR checker.

Thanks, any advice is appreciated
 
Am I the only one who has no idea what sizes these red sea systems are?
 
I guess so. 900 is this tank.

If aggression is the main concern it will come down to rock work and hiding/sleeping area. If going NSA, you'll probably have issues. If adding a ton of rock and lots of caves and places to hide, things will be easier.
 
I think I sit somewhere between NSA and caves, the bases of each of my structures are caves, and I have some plateaus that have a woven look to them. I'm just wondering if all of those plus the extras would all go together.
 
Anyone have suggestions on the best order to add these fish would be?
 
I have 40 fish going into my reefer-s 1000. What's your question? You don't have that many fish to be honest and they're small. In a system that size you won't have any issues.
