i need an idea of what and how much people generally stock in a 90g RR.

a yellow tang/lawnmover blennie and a cooperband are the most imporant fish to keep hair and pest at bay

In my 90 gal I have
yellow tang
hippo tang
3 blue chromis
purple dottyback
maroon clown
cinnamon clown
dragon goby

I personally think I have a few too many, im always fighting with nitrates

ick definately don't want a copperband, i have lots of little tube worms, and other worms i'd prefer not eaten, my 1 peppermint takes care of all the aiptasia i've ever come across.

not really interested in clown fish.

i'll most likely get a goby of some sort.

i already have 1 pajama cardinal and 1 scooter blenny that will be moved from my old tank once it's done cycling, i'd like to get a few more pajamas.

yellow tangs are alright but i work at a LFS and know first hand how suspectible they are to problems.

It depends on what you want. With that size tank, you can keep most fish. Personally in a reef tank, i think that a bunch of differrent types of smaller fish make an incredible looking display. I love the Hi-fin gobies.
