Fish in a 90 gallon?

[kalied20]

How many fish can you put in a 90 gallon? I took everyting out of my nanos today and put them in one 90 gallon. Here is what I have right now.
2 - false Perc clowns
1 - hippo tang
1 - Japanese Swallowtail angel
3 Reef Chromis
1- golden Headed Sleeper Goby
1 - rainford goby
coral banded shrimp
cleaner shrimp
Could I add more?

It's sort of a loaded question b/c you haven't talked about what kind of filtration you have on the tank.

and reef or no reef

OOPS...
It's a reef with a 25 gallon Refuge/sump under it. the refuge has a deep sand bad and hermits. I am looking for some cheato to put in there also...

adding the macro algae is always a good idea because it will use up a lot of the nutrients but not all so water changes are still neccessary some type of small wrasse would be okay like a six line or some type of fairy wrasse just watch out for more aggressive fish because any extra pressure on your hippo and everybodies favorite fish killer could show itself another small tang like a kole would also work for a while

thanks for the replies..
There is a someone here breaking down their tank and has another hippo tang. about the same size. Can you introduce one after the other has been in for a week or so?

a wrasse and a sea beta would look sharp

Flame Hawkfish gets my vote.

It sounds like you just did this. If that is true I would also wait a bit for the bio load to settle in so you can test and see how stable things are. If you just did the 90 you should slown down a bit. If not then my vote is for a six line.

a wrasse would be cool. i have a six-line in my 55 and its probably one of the more interesting fish i have.

I just put the 90 together last week, but I took everything from a 24, 20, and a 10 gallon. All the LR, LS, and 50% of the water is all aged well from tanks of 1 year or more. I just consolidated. I was going to give the other hippo tang a home since he was have to move soon. That was my question.
