Hi all,

My newly established 90 gallon tank has been going great. I have built a shopping list for the next year or so as I’m going to add fish slowly. Here is what I have. Does anybody see any major concerns? I’m after reef safe fish with maximum personality.

* 2 × Clownfish — already in tank
* 1 × Midas Blenny
* 1 × Yellow Watchman Goby
* 1 × Tomini Tang
* 1 × Fairy or Flasher Wrasse
* 1 × Royal Gramma
* 1 x Long Nose Hawkfish
 
Some of these fish may eat snails & shrimp that people use in their Clean Up Crew (Cuc), the wrasse and the hawk fish are hearty predators.

Yellow watchman stirs up the gravel and can bury corals in the process.

Clownfish can be territorial and attack new additions and you when you reach in the tank. They also have opinions about what corals are ok to add. They sometimes relocate frags after you place them, mine loved to dump them behind the rock work where I struggled to retrieve them.

Otherwise, this looks like a good list for a reef tank.

How about this?

1. Diamond Watchman Goby
2. Midas Blenny
3. Neon Goby
4. Royal Gramma
5. Flasher/Fairy Wrasse
6. Tomini Tang — LAST fish
