Currently I have a 90g display, 20g sump/fuge, 100lbs live rock, 100 lbs live sand. The tank will become a primarily sps tank. I've listed below the fish I would like to add over time. Will this work?

5 blue green reef chromis

3 ocellaris clowns with host anemone

2 shrimp gobies (exact species undecided)

1 Purple Tang or Powder Blue Tang ( could I have both?)

3 cleaner shrimp

I currently have 3 turbo snails, 2 red leg crabs, 1 emerald crab.

I would like to add more small crabs, maybe 10 more.

Any critiques or suggestions are welcome.

I would go with 2 perculas. Once they mature there's a chance the third one may not be so welcome.

From what I've heard with the chromis they usually kill each other off. So more than likely you will wind up with 1 or 2.

If it were me I would stick with one tang. They add a lot to your bioload. I would definitely add any tang last. You might be able to get away with 2, I've never tried it. Maybe someone with a little more experience can help with this one.

Im not sure if two gobies would get along. So you may want to consider a a goby and a blenny.

You definitley need more of a clean up crew. Snails, hermits, etc...

Good Luck!!!!

I'd recommend yasha gobies for the shrimp goby choice. I only have 1 (still unpaired with pistol grrr) but I've heard they will happily form a couple and pair up with a shrimp!

Thanks for the info.

Anyone else have any comments/suggestions? Is that too many fish for a 90gal? Any incompatibilities? Am I totally nuts?
