90 Gallon fish list

[golgi aparatus]

Is this potential fish list overstocked for a 90 gallon mixed reef?
1- Foxface
1-Hippo Tang
2-False percs
1- Midas Blenny
2-Pajama Cardinals
1-Sixline Wrasse
A total of 8 fish. I know someone who has this exact fish list in a 75 gallon mixed reef now. Will I be OK with a list like this as long as I have a good skimmer and stay on top of weekly water changes?

Not really, the Hippo Tang will eventually outgrow the tank, if not be purchased already too big. Other then that, seems like a good list.

OK, thanks.
How about this hypothetical. I'll lose the Hippo and add a foxface. This time the tank is a 75 gallon:
2- Foxface
2-clowns
1-midas blenny
2-cardinals
1-sixline

I would only do one Foxface, especially if you're talking about same type.
What type of 'mixed reef' are you considering? Foxfaces have sometimes been known to be nippers of certain corals.

I understand about the 2 foxfaces. I am thinking about a LSP/Softies tank. Zoas, GSP, Hammer coral some Acans etc...in a 75 gallon tank.
How about I replace a couple of chromis for the second Foxface?
Would this be overstocked for a 75?
I want as much activity in the tank as far as livestock is concerned with out overstocking issues.

I'd say do two chromis and two neon gobies (ORA of course).
That should be a good amount of activity. The load is higher then average, so that means you'll have to get a better skimmer, and do slightly more water changes. Just go nice and slow with adding the fish.

in my current 90 i have a blonde naso tang, yellow tang, starry blenny, and a yellow watchman goby.
its plenty of action for me (especially the tangs) but i do plan on a masked rabbitfish to finish it off.
im lookin for alot of bigger fish tho.

OK, so lets see now. Potential stock list/skimmer combo for a 75 gallon LPS/softies tank:
1-Foxface
2-Pajama Cardinals
2-False percs
1-Midas Blenny
1-Sixline Wrasse
2-chromis
2-neon gobies
Reef Octopus NW-110 - rated for 90 gallons
Is this skimmer enough for my needs? It seems to be the largest footprint skimmer that will fit into my current wet/dry system.
