What do you think of my stock list for my 90G mixed reef? Will this be ok?

2 Clown fish
1 Yellow Eye Kole tang
1 bluespot jawfish
3-4 Anthias

And I'm also looking for different fish I can add.
 
I think that's a good list right there and enough fish for a 90. Be aware of the jawfish ways as he loves to burrow and he wont stop until he's happy. I personally have a trio of Lyretails in a 90 and they are perfect imo. Depending on the clownfish you might be ok. Don't go with the aggresive ones such as maroons, tomatoes and such because they will just be trouble down the road imo. The yellow eye is one of the smaller tangs so I think you should be fine with him just add him last. That would be a nice looking reef with those fish. Looking forward to a build thread or an adding fish thread.
 
ive had alot of luck with my sunburst anthias anthias need to be fed often i had a small group of squares and feedong once a day caught up with them and they all passed just my experience tho also the sunburst stay on smaller side some anthias get quite large
 
if you only feed every three days, you need to stick to the "grazers", like a tang (or a couple of the smaller tangs that dont get large)....the meat eaters will likely starve (I was going to say fairy or flasher wrasses have nice color, but likely need meaty foods daily).

definately not anthias, like cubbies said, you need to feed them multiple times a day, which is why I dont have them, I only feed daily.
 
I heard you can only keep 1 tang in a 90G tank.

I'm planning on keeping 3 tangs in my 90 and that has been officially tang police approved because I am starting out with the smallest youngster tangs that I can find and I have fully accepted that I will probably have to sell them and get new small ones of they get too big at some point!
 
Blue Hippo, Thompson, and a Blonde Naso. I also have a firefish, a pajama cardinal, a small goby, a yellow coris wrasse, and a pair of clowns. Keeping in mind that I run a skimmer that's rated for a tank twice as big as mine to handle the bio load.
 
you can keep more than one tang in a 90, the bristletooth tangs dont get huge and aren't open swimmers, the hepatus (hippo) and yellows tangs as well...

I've kept a PBT in a 95 (5' tan) for years, but it would be the last fish to put in, they can be pretty mean.
 
everyones set ups are different and allow for different things to be done there are many tangs that you can get and like someone posted if you get some small that will get large just be ready to trade for another or sell and rebuy start looking at tangs and get a good idea of size that usually helps out when picking fish if u find one or some u like ask im sure someone here has had or has them and changing from your feeding to a couple times a day everyday can cause some problems if your not ready for it water quality i mean
 
i have a blue sided fairy wrasse he is pretty cool. bright red head with gold green and blue metalic scales on the sides. looks awesome.
