Currently have 32 gallon biocube, it’ll most likely be staying set up.
Have a new 90 gallon and sump, tank dimensions 5’ long, 18” wide and 19” high.

Here’s my thoughts so far:
One spot fox face
Mandarin goby (will wait until we’ll established)
Yellow coris wrasse
Another wrasse (carpenter, mccoskers)
Bengaii cardinals group, how many
Long nose hawkfish
Pair of clowns
Coral beauty
Royal gramma

Thoughts on this stocking list and what order would you add them in.
Thank you! Will be a reef tank.
 
Love those dimensions.

List looks fine, really. For the banggais, they can live in groups as juveniles. As they mature, 1 or a pair of male+female.

For others, maybe another flasher wrasse of a different species, or a fairy or two. Tomini tang would work well with the foxface

Awesome, thank you!

Cardinals can be aggressive to each other. I think they are happy as a pair then when I had 3.
 
With the Wrasse’s and Royal Gramma I can’t believe there could be enough pods to support a Mandarin in that size tank.
Just to be clear I meant in the 32. In the new 90 if you have a good size sump you could probably build up a good population of pods but that wrasse will eat a lot
