Filtration for 90 gal fish only

Hey guys!! I'm looking to convert my 90 gal fresh to a fish only salt with only a dog face puffer and maybe a tang or trigger or so. I am curious about only having one emperor 400 with a powerhead on the opposite side. Will this provide adequate filtration with biweekly water changes??? It seemed to do well with a tank full of south american cichlids, but I'm unsure with the higher water quality standards of saltwater fish.

None of the fish you listed will be happy in that tank for long.
The filtration you listed will be inadequate as well. Consider a sump and oversize skimmer if you are going with larger more aggressive fish, they're pretty messy.
For the fish you listed look into at least a 6ft 125gal minimum.

A puffer won't do well in a 90??? That sucks!! I do want aggressive fish, what do you reccommend for a 90?? I don't have the money to upgrade right now, and i probably won't be going any bigger with my tank any time soon. I don't mind all too much upgrading my filtration, just not the tank right now. What are some ACTIVE fish that will do well in my 90??
