Have any interest in a Heniochus Singularis? It’s a nice show-stopper for a 90 gallon. Just an idea. I do have one with a Purple Tang, as a matter of fact.

Singularis grows much bigger than other Banners, however. Mine is a solo— I accidentally mixed Banners once, and he terrorized the others.

I say go for it and see how it goes, but that's coming from someone with 90G that's overstocked with fish and corals.
14 fish some a good size and to many corals to count. I call it organized chaos but all fish and corals are extremely healthy.

“Organized Chaos”

all jokes aside that tank is gorgeous

I like the huma trigger
Do they eat coral?

I am seeing at lest 3 different triggers, a yellow tail blue tang (Dory) and a yellow tang in these pics. Any issues with aggression? How long have you had them? What size were they when you introduced them?

5 triggers
3 tangs
2 clowns
1 big damsel
1 squirrel fish
1 Harlequin Tusk
1 bicolor blenny
Most are 3 to 5 years old since I started this tank. The triggers squabble once in a while but nothing out of the ordinary.

Thanks,

You give me hope that I can add some of my favorite fish ever (Humu Humu and Clown triggers and at least a few tangs) into my new 120 tank and still pull off a nice reef setup

@HB AL
How did you do that aquascape?
I love it and want to do it
let me start by saying it was not planned out it just kinda came together over the last 5 years.
Lots of rocks, also some of those flat pieces they make to allow for more placement space for the corals and I drill holes in some of the rocks to place frags with there plugs. The added benefit of so many rocks is it creates a robust biological filter which I need since the reef is full of fish and corals.
