moonlights.. that sounds nifty.... what are those?

you don't have to feed zoas and mushrooms. they get all they need from light. low to medium flow should be fine.

moonlights are basically LED's that give a shimmery glow when the lights go out.

you don't have to feed them anything

they like medium to high flow you have 1600 gph in the 90 gal.

the mushrooms prefer a low to medium flow

If you look at a flow rate in the tank between 20 and 40 times the tank volume in gph then you are great for the mushrooms but
for the zoas you might want to add another korilia 3
