I normally dont tell ppl. not to do certain things but in this case I think you should take the cleaner wrasse back to the store. If a 1 inch tang is the biggest fish you have there is no way you can add enough fish fast enough to keep the wrasse healthy. Its not the size that matters its the number of fish they can clean. There is a thread farther down the line about the cleaner wrasse. wait until you have more healthy fish. All fish dont let them clean them anyway. You can add a small yellow tang or two and a kole. and thats about it as far as fish that grow large goes for a 90 gl. the blue can get 8 to 10 inches. But you can add plenty more fish that dont grow more than 3 or 4 inches. But add them slow so your bio load dont get out of control.

what are the fish you currently have in the 90gl? I've always enjoyed copperband butterflies.

my lfs said that butterfly fish are not reef safe because they will nip at cooral and anenomes.
