I have just finished cycling my 90 and am ready to start puting fish in it very slowly. I plan on putting in the cleaning crew this weekend along with 2 Percula Clowns. This is what my dream stock list would be.
2 Orange and White Clowns
2 Black and White Percula Clowns
1 Sixline Wrasse
4 Lyretail Anthias - 1 male and 3 females
1 Copperbanded Butterfly
Possibably a couple of Neon Gobies or a Blenny or 2
Possibably a Falco Hawkfish but I am worried that it will eat my snails and crabs.
1 Coral Beauty Angel
1 Lemon Peel Angel
1 Flame Angel
( I have had success with a Coral Beauty and Flame in the same tank in the past. I have lots of rock with hiding places and will introduce them at the same time, possibably adding the Flame last since it would be the most aggressive)
I really wanted to add a Hippo Tang but they are ICH magnets so I decided against it.
I travel quite a bit so the additions will happen over a long period of time saving the Wrasse and Angels for last.
Is this overkill? I don't think so but I could be wrong.......(as usual)
Thanks in advance for any advise.........

Have you had SW tanks before this one? because the copperbands are very hard to keep for a beginner, i wanted one myself and decided to avoid buying one since i am new and from what i have read on here i would not have been able to support it per say. Also the Blk and Wht clowns may fight with the regular False Percs but im not sure someone correct me if im wrong. also that seems to be alot of angels in one tank? im am a newb myself so again someone correct me if im wrong.

This is a set up that I had in Virginia that I need to break down before moving to Florida. I have had SW tanks for about 9 years total.

That's one hell of a list. Guess I don't have to worry about mine just yet. I love to see a pic of the Partridge. LOL
You don't have any issues with so many Angels?????????
As to the Clowns. I was under the impression that they would not fight because they are from the same family. Is that incorrect?????????????

Thanks! Only issues with Angels or any of the fish is during feeding time!
Clowns can be naggy! My clown used to show my Koran his dominent side, but since the Koran (McLovin) has gotten bigger...The tables have turned! Now, it's more of a mutual understanding between the two! Attached is a couple of pics during feeding time!

they will fight, and it will more than likely be to the death in your tank, you are better off with just one pair of clowns. now, you could probably get away with 2 pairs of clowns in a 200+ gallon, 8' long tank, but in a 90, 1 pair is the limit

Holy Crap sean...Your right!!! Yes, I still have the Blonde Naso Tang.

FYI... The puffer is harmless to the fish. He's got the personality of a Labrador Retreiver.
