Too Much?

[elfloyd]

Need opinions on what to stock in my 90g.

I am finally putting all the pieces together for my 90 build. Electrical almost in place... plumbing next. Now I am starting to think about livestock.

Build specifics:

<ul>
<li>90g rr tank</li>
<li>30g sump with refugium</li>
<li>2 - 250 MK 20k lamps</li>
<li>150 lbs live rock</li>
<li>sand bottem</li>
</ul>
Livestock wish list:

<ul>
<li>2 True Percs</li>
<li>1 Yellow Tang</li>
<li>1 Blue Hippo</li>
<li>1 Chevron Tang</li>
<li>3 Blue/Green Reef Chromis</li>
<li>1 Blue Spot Jawfish (after tank ages six months)</li>
<li>1 Red Mandarin (after tank ages six months)</li>
</ul>
Corals: Softies and Hard

Thoughts welcome.

I would go with the smaller chevron later on down the road. Have you thought of a dwarf angel in place of one of the tangs? Love my flame.

Hmmmmmm.... Yeah, dwarf may be the way to go. In fact I may adjust the list and only include fish with a max growth of less than 8".

A bit "heavy" on tangs (personally I'd skip the yellow but that's just me)... Chevrons are awesome fish - similar in body type/disposition to the Kole but much prettier

I'd give the tank a year for the Mandarin - but other than the percs I don't see any big competitors for food, so you should be OK there with the right amount of rock for pods.

Agreed... too heavy on the tangs.

 

[skriz]

Too many tangs for me.
I'd also wait 1 year for the mandarin.

No yellow tang... all I've seen become major bullies in the tank (at least in my tanks)
