Due to acquisition of two Marineland 125-gallon tanks, my build plan has changed significantly.
Current plan is to have a 125-reef with a 125-sump with the main chamber for a macroalgae display.

ORIGINAL POST
After being introduced to keeping a marine aquarium with the acquisition of a 75-gallon FOWLR from a co-worker as detailed in my post in the Meet & Greet forum, I am just starting the planning phase of building a 90-gallon peaceful reef tank.
Since I am new, I am planning to start with more hardy fishes, corals, and invertebrates. Research is one thing I enjoy doing, so I will be careful and patient in the planning phase to reduce likelihood of wasted expense and failures when I am starting out.

I already have the tank (48 inches long, 18 inches wide, 25 inches deep) and stand with an open base design that should allow for a sump. There are no holes drilled in the aquarium for plumbing, so I will probably need overflow over the top, unless drilling through the glass is a consideration I take. A sump with a refugium is very likely to be included (30 to 55 gallons, not sure how to size the sump? ...is bigger better?).
80-lbs of dry rock, 40-lbs of Caribsea Arag-alive Fiji Pink, and 20-lbs of Caribsea Arag-alive Special Grade are on order so I can get rockscape and substrate ready to begin cycling in the next month or two. I am in no rush, but I would like to have the materials on hand when I am ready to start this tank, especially if there is any pre-setup processing I need to do.

This is my initial fish list based on preliminary research, and recommendations for additions, subtractions, or changes are appreciated.
Listed in approximate order of preference:
2 of Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
1 of Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) [I already have this ~4-inch fish that will be transferred over from my 75-gallon]
1 of Kole Yellow Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus) or 1 of Bristletooth Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus tominiensis)
1 of Foxface Lo (Siganus vulpinus) or 1 of Bicolor Foxface (Siganus uspi) or 1 of One Spot Foxface (Siganus unimaculatus)
1-2 of Engineer Goby (Pholidichthys leucotaenia)
2-3 of Chalk Bass (Serranus tortugarum)
2-3 of Neon Goby (Elcatinus oceanops)
2-4 of Yellowstriped Cardinalfish (Ostorhincus cyanosoma)
2 of Blue/Green Black-axil Chromis (Chromis sp.) or 2 of Yellowtail Damselfish (Chrysiptera parasema) or 2 of Blue Sapphire Damselfish (Chrysiptera cf. springeri)

Some items on this list are probably not subject to change. My favorite fish is the Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish, especially paired symbiotically with Rose Bubble-Tip Anemones. These two fish along with RBTA are surely on my list.
The Purple Tang came with the 75-gallon tank I got and is one of my most favorite fish, so I would like him to be in the 90-gallon reef (at least until he may grow too large?).
Fish from the genus Siganus I find particularly striking and interesting, so one will likely be included.
The Engineer Goby is one of my favorites also for its coloration and resemblance to an eel. I am not sure if it is better to include two or only one.
The Chalk Bass is my favorite small fish and would like to include more than one.
The other fish are just considerations for different colors or interests if they can be added without overcrowding the tank or overloading the biosystem.
I really like eels, and my 75-gallon aquarium came with a ~11-inch Snowflake Eel, but it seems they are not good to add to a 90-gallon reef. Since I also have triggerfish that are not compatible with the reef, I will probably leave the 75-gallon as a FOWLR in addition to the 90-gallon reef aquarium.

Does this seem way too heavy a bio-load for a 90-gallon tank (probably with a 30-to-55-gallon sump)? Should I remove fish or can I add fish (either more quantity or more types) to the list? What sequence should I add the fish to best aid success?

I am not really sure which corals to include, so I am open to suggestions. I want hardy beginner corals at the start and will see where I head from here in the future.
My initial research has me considering the following, though much more research and recommendations are needed before adding any:
Mushroom Anemones, branching Sinularia, Porites, Leather, Acropora (maybe too difficult?), Star Polyps, Euphyllia (especially ancora)
Corals are one category where I am very open to recommendations.

Other invertebrates, such as hermit crabs, snails, shrimp, starfish, urchins, conchs will be included for clean-up, though I am also very open to suggestions in this area and will refine considerations as I make a more specific plan for the fishes and corals that are to be included.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, especially initial reactions to my considerations. I know this is broad right now, but I will get more specific in considerations and schedule as I progress in my research. I have been reading a lot about reefing and marine aquariums online and in books and will continue to do so in conjunction with recommendations on R2R for a practical education towards a successful reef.

Any updates?
Sorry, not really any updates...
I am working with the fabrication shop supervisor at my workplace to plan a time to fabricate a steel stand for this 125-over-125 build. Though I will soon have two 40-gallon setups to use as quarantines, I am trying to hold back on ordering fish until the 125-gallon setup is in place and functional (even though this requires much more patience).

Due to other factors of life, I am trying to wait until I can plan enough time to make the leap into this setup after finishing other tasks so I do not as likely end up in time-constrained issues where lives depend upon my actions (or lack thereof). My current 75-gallon is easy to upkeep while I wait. I should be working again on this setup soon, but I don't yet know when... I am at a stage where waiting is a bit too simple, though hopefully useful in the long-run.

My LiveAquaria order arrived today with all occupants alive and acclimated into the 40-gallon quarantine tank. I'm pretty excited to have my favorite marine fish, the Fiji bicolor foxface rabbitfish, along with some of my other favorites with the raccoon butterflyfish and 2 engineer gobies.
The Foxface and engineer gobies will eventually be in the 125-reef and the raccoon butterflyfish will be in my basement 90-FOWLR.

Out of curiosity, should I remove the ceramic media and liverock and only use plastic bioballs and sponge filter for biofiltration if I would need to medicate this tank? Do liverock and ceramic media absorb and retain medications?

Acclimating:


In Quarantine full-tank:

...and, just for fun, my freshwater rainbowfish tank nearby, since it is established and not in transition right now as are my other freshwater tanks that are being rearranged:

Love the Fiji foxy... :cool:
Me, too. It's my most favorite marine fish and I am thrilled to have one. I look forward to the day I see it in my 125-reef.

I've read that foxfaces like best to be paired but will fight conspecifics. I'd love a pair of Fiji foxfaces, but I am not sure I want to take the risk on them not pairing.

My LiveAquaria orders arrived safely, though I was concerned when one of the boxes was soaked down one side (?!?!) like the box was not kept upright. Thankfully, it was only from the Auriga butterflyfish bag which only lost about 1/3 of the water and still contained enough to keep the fish alive and well.

The orders were a Fiji bicolor foxface (Siganus uspi) and an Auriga butterflyfish (Chaetodon auriga) from LA's California location as well as two black and white Ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) from ORA in Florida.

The fish are acclimated and doing well so far in the quarantine. The butterflyfish, although stressed by lower water and air amounts due to the leak, seems to be doing fine with no fast breathing. The foxfaces are really going to have an interesting time now that there are 3! I'm not sure if I will be able to tell them apart other than that the middle-sized one was the first, smallest was second, and largest was third. Once they grow, this distinction may go away...

I changed out my small Koralia circulation pump for a larger one to make sure there was enough surface turbulence for oxygen exchange. The fish all seem to enjoy having the increased flow in the tank as well!

Lights were turned on for these videos, but they will remain off for the next day or two for initial introduction.





The clownfish finally found each other:

Small update: All fishes are doing fine in the quarantine and the foxfaces seem to be getting along together.
I still have plans to build the stand tomorrow at my friend's fabrication shop.

I had a strange occurrence this week in my 75-gallon FOWLR. Since nutrients are high due to lacking maintenance efforts, I have hair algae and cyanobacteria growing everywhere in the FOWLR. I decided to harvest some this week to clean up the tank. Since the cyanobacteria mats were loaded with amphipods and some bristleworms, I tried to put them back in the tank.
While doing so, thankfully I had the screens back on top of my tank, because my eel suddenly darted out and thrashed about, smacking the screen several times before settling on the bottom in a coil and biting at its side while jerking and twitching. I wonder if I dropped a bristle worm on the eel somehow... anyhow, at least everything seems to be back to normal now.

Another small update:
I nearly finished the stand with my friend at his fabrication shop on Saturday. He is finishing the last parts this week and plans to paint it and deliver it as soon as it is finished.

Also, all fish in the quarantine tank are doing great! I got some videos and images last evening as the lights dimmed down. Fish in quarantine are 3 Fiji foxfaces, 1 Auriga butterflyfish, 2 juvenile engineer gobies, and 2 black & white Ocellaris clownfish:

Beauitful setups you got going on. I love those torches and elegance corals. Amazing extension.
Is this a reply to the wrong thread? ;)
I don't have any torches or elegance corals yet. Most of the previous pictures are freshwater tanks other than my marine quarantine.

Oh, that makes sense. I forgot about my LFS visit and shared photos!
The LFS is Aquarium Obsessions by Charlie Traynor north of Washington, Illinois (61571).

From what I can see and ascertain by asking questions, he is very experienced and knowledgeable and takes very good care of his store. He is in process right now with improvements in fish and coral selection availability.

Time for an update:
On Saturday morning, I met @Mibu at Aquarium Obsessions by Washington, IL for an LFS visit and to pick up her foxface that was nipping corals. It was kind of chaotic, since there were a lot more customers there than I've ever observed before and a flood occurred in the shop loft since the owner was the only shopkeeper/employee there and forgot he left water running in a tank up in the loft. He got it resolved and was able to stay calm enough to help each customer without too much delay. I am glad I waited it out, since I got a nice 1.5" Tomini tang for a good price.

Here are some pictures and videos:

Great pictures!

I asked him about the coral in the corner by the tangs tail, he told me "not for sale." Not sure which species it is, but it isn't rare. I don't know if it is a lepto or a lithophyllon. maybe he wants to frag it?
I sent him a message on fb for pics of his godzilla yumas. No reply yet.

(Under loft, so some flooding through ceiling onto floor, Charlie did an excellent job handling the situation, in my opinion)
