Suggestions information can be overwhelming

[jacobreynolds6883]

So i have successfully started up my 90 gallon. During the process everything was moved over from 2 separate tanks and everything has been thriving for over a month now in the new tank. I've recently been doing tons of reading on stocking my new DT however it is so overwhelming with all the contradicting information. So I'm here looking for inputs to help me fill this tank slowly over the next year.

-First this is a list of current marine life. *Note have had all of them a year or longer.
(2) Paired Clownfish
Coral Beauty Angel Fish
Various Snails (CUC)
Neon Green Cabbage Leather
(2) Toadstool Leather
Finger Leather
GSP
PomPom Xenias
Various Zoas

-Lastly what I would like to see.
Fish that fill the tank, top swimmers, bottom feeders, rock hiders, fish that stay in water column, possible schooling fish?
Fish that serve a purpose to keep tank thriving
Moderately to hardy fish
Maybe a smaller tang, this is a very questionable topic?

Bioload should not be to big of an issue large 40g sump, refugium, large skimmer. Send suggestions my way note if there would be an order due to species personality.

oh easy. Dwarf golden morey eel, longnose hawkfish, Coris wrasse, Mandarin. bristol toothed tang

Pajama cardinals are good for fish that kinda hang out in the middle of the tank. A flame hawk might work for you as well. Great personality.

 

[jacobreynolds6883]

Anyone else? Does anyone know of a list online that would help as well?

Evening.

I like this list. I would add a Tomini tang and some type of goby, maybe watchman.

I have the 90 gallons or less filter applied. It doesn't have every last marine fish available it has a lot.

Great info, I was unaway if the search ability.

I highly recommend a melenarus wrasse. They are colorful, active, relatively peaceful, and eat many unwanted pests such as red planaria.

Any warnings with them other than jumping out of the tank? Reef safe?

Absolutely add a watchman goby/tiger pistol! The coolest creatures you can have on the bottom.

I've added the Watchman Goby to my list. Question about the Tomini Tang. Absolutely love tangs and would love to have a yellow but I'd be pushing that in a 90 so I will stay reserved and avoid one. With more research I seem to like the color on the Kole Yellow Eye Tang out of the few I can keep in a 90. Between the Kole Yellow Eye Tang, Tomini Tang, and Bristletooth Tang which would be the best for a mixed reef? Less aggressive? Less prone to the to diseases, since tangs seem to have a bad rep for being plagued with diseases from LFS. Yes I do quarantine. And one Last question could I have a Tomini and Kole in the same tank without aggression?

Would you say its best to buy already paired or fairly simple to pair yourself?

 

[Katrina71]

The white tail bristletooth is pretty.

Either. Usually a tiger pistol will pair easily.

 

[jacobreynolds6883]

The white tail bristletooth is pretty.

First time seeing one and yes I would agree! They also carry a hefty price tag that I'm seeing.

 

[Katrina71]

FYI, a pink spot or blue spot are more aggressive imo.

Most say that wrasse are more prone to jump than others. Over the years, though, I have lost a flagfin angel, scooter blenny, potters angel, and domino damsel to jumping. I have not lost a wrasse to jumping that I remember. Wrasse that
I have housed for long periods of time include melanarus, mystery, sixline, and fourline. I have never really gotten into fairies or flashers although I did house a few that I ended up getting rid of in trade. Aquariums without lids will probably lose a fish to jumping at some point. It is what it is.

Now, with that being said, I do not use lids on my aquariums and over the past 15 +/- years in the hobby I have only lost 4 fish that I can remember to jumping. It is much more probable that you will lose fish to disease or stress in the long run.
