    In a year or do I'll be upgrading to a 90g mixed reef. I know this won't be for a while but I just want to get an idea of what I can do stock wise... How does this sound?

    1 yellow tang
    2 occelaris clowns
    3 blue reef chromis
    1 yellow watchman goby
    1 six line wrasse

    Too much? Room for more?
    Please don't hate, I'm a dreamer.:)

    Thanks in advance.:D

    The tang police might string me up, but with something over 90 (and assuming it's long, not square) you could have a hippo tang in that size.

    What size do you currently have? Go bigger than a 90! I wished I had gone bigger with my 55. 5 months later I wanted a 125 because I was so limited I felt for my 55, but I waited around and pondered the ideas of sizes. I came upon a 220 and couldn't pass it up. I love tangs and I have a Powder Brown and Naso that will be going into it. Hopefully a Achilles too one day.

    +100

    That's advice to bank on!! I've got a 55 currently, but my next upgrade, I'm not going for a 90 or 125. A 180 is perfect size to reach your arm down to the bottom and adjust rocks, and still large enough to house just about anything you want. I've got 250 saved up, and currently saving 50 each paycheck, or 100 a month, and by next year I want to have my upgraded tank, where I'll put the 55 down below for the new sump.

    id love to get a bigger tank but I'm in middle school and live with my parents. i think 90 would be as high as i can go. this won't be till i get a job in a year or so so that i can support it financially. so in your opinion what tangs will do alright in a 90? and when i say 90 i been the typical 4ft long 2ft wide(i believe) tank.
