Hello everyone...

As some of you know, i just upgraded from a 30 gal to this 90 gal bowfront...

First things first, i need some more salt (kind of misjudged how much i had) and more light and rock. But the reason for this post is I'm looking for stocking suggestions from you seasoned veterans....

If you were doing a 90 gal mixed reef, what would you put in it???
 
Trio of anthias is always cool, I have bartletts, not to aggressive beautiful to watch, bonded pair of clowns, maybe a goby and pistol shrimp, super cool symbiotic relationship, Royal gramma is a nice peaceful, active, colorful addition

Was definitely getting a pistol and some gobies. (Had a tiger pistol and yellow watchman before tank crashed due to some bs( details in build thread)) and a royal gramma (also victim of said crash)

I've been looking at some of the anthias and had been considering some. Are they schooling? Was thinking of a blue green chromis school, would like 2-3 different schooling fish.

I'm also looking to get a tang, one of the smaller bristletooth.

I'm also looking to stock a little heavy, once system is completely plumbed in, I'm looking too run at least 150-200 gal water between tank, macro garden and cutsom sump...

Also have a green wrasse. So only have 3 fish swimming around right now. I got 2 BTA 2 days ago. This is them after about 24 hrs in tank.

Nice looking additions, yes they are school generally shoot for 2 to 3 females one male but they can change sex as dominance in the school shifts, also blue green chromis are nice I have 2, first fish I ever bought actually they are super active, beautiful shimmer to them as well, bristle tooth tangs, I'd recommend a yellow eye kole they're super cool
 
Hopefully you got some sweet corals on the wwc live sale yesterday, day two just started!
 
Drain it

Clean it

Fill it with ice

Add your favorite beer in a bottle

You'll be happier this way

Cheaper to put 90g of fresh ice in it a day than to add fish and coral
:confused::eek::p:D

I'm going to hold off on coral for a bit, need more light and rock first. Well second, need more salt first...

I was actually thinking of going with the yellow eye. Was thinking my final addition would be the tang with a flame angle and possibly a coral beauty.
