    Hey everyone it has been a while since I've been on the forums and that's because I've been through a hectic move and new state, school and now a new fish tank!
    Pictures will be going up later
    But it's 90 gallons with a 30ish gallon sump eshopps PSK 180 protein skimmer
    18 watt UV sterilizer
    GFO reactoer
    2 AI Hydras
    2 1250gph hydors
    1 1500gph hydor
    Return pump at 1359 gph but is turned down around to about 900ish
    About 100lbs of live sand
    50ish lbs of LR
    40ish lbs of dry rock
    And will be adding another 9lbs of live rock

    Pictures should be up tomorrow
    It's been running for 4 days now

    Anyway I'll give u my stocking ideas but I am COMPLETELY open(besides the clowns)

    2clowns
    3 blue reef chromis OR 3 Bartlett anthias
    1 carpenter wrasse
    1 bangii cardinal OR 1 fire fish
    1Yellow tang
    1 Orange prawn goby
    1 other goby (sleeper banded probably)

    That's it for fish I'm still thinking about definite corals and a clam
    But I'll keep you guys updated
    Thanks for all the help and I can't wait to here your input

    P.s. Sorry I wrote a novel! :p

    Sounds like it is going to be a nice setup

    Looks great. Good choice of Blue Reef Chromis. They are beautiful! Mine are constantly swimming the entire length of the tank.

    welcome back and congratulations on all of your accomplishments! Your tank looks really nice. I love the blue background and your scape. In a 90, you may need to go with 5 reef chromis because for whatever reason, it is true that 3 becomes 1 over time. What about a yellow watchman goby/pistol pair. I love the yellow watchmans. I love my flamehawk - very active and beautiful color. I've never kept firefish but I thought I remembered reading where they do better in pairs/groups? I could be totally wrong on that. I personally am not fond of the cardinals - there are just so many other brilliant colored fish out there. I might explore some other wrasses (if you have a cover) - I've come to really like these fish - they have gorgeous coloring and are always active and most behave well :) that's my .02.

    OFK, you are totally wrong on this :) Usually multiples only work if you get one from one species, and the other from a different (i.e. Purple & Helfichi). Pairs or groups will dwindle down to 1.

    But great suggestions otherwise, especially on Wrasses :)

    What other wrasses did you guys have in mind?
    I've never kept a wrasse but love them so I am very open :)
