Just set up a 93 gallon cube and I want to put in a lot of tiny fish to make it look like a reef! Even if the fish is not the most pretty
 
Go for a leather, they can get big and will be a nice talk piece if you get some corals
 
the Naso will outgrow that tank. A clown can be aggressive to new additions, so that’s something to watch for, a ruby dragonet needs lots of pods so you may want to limit pod eating fish like wrasses that pick off the rocks (fairy and flashers are not pod hunters they are planktivores) or have a lots of rock work in the tank/ a fuge where pods can breed safely.

It sounds like you want to make a tank similar to @Lasse tank, so I’d advise looking at his build thread. Some possibilities include
- a group of red stripe cardinal fish or thread fin cardinals
- royal gramma or blackcap basslet
- smaller fairy and flasher wrasse
-possum or pink streaked wrasse
--swissguard basslet
-longnosed hawkfish ir Pygmy geometric perchlet
-a group of fang blennies
-tailspot or pictus blenny
- firefish
- group of scissortail dartfish
- shrimp goby pair if you have sand
-captive bred rainford goby if you have sand
- trimma and eviota and greenbanded gobies

there are plenty more small fish you can fit into a 90!

Awesome thank u non of the fish are in the tank yet except for the clown which will be leaving in
 
Barnacle blennies would be a fun little addition that would dart in and out of your rockwork.
Small colorful basslets could be a fun active type addition, My favorite being the swissgaurd.
a pair of pygmy filefish would be a fun little addition
And though they may be a bit big i love pygmy and dwarf angelfish.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding
