I have a 90 standard with T-5's and life is good! It's always easy to recommend the biggest and badest on the market, but not everyone needs that. I prefer soft swaying corals over hard acro's, which, other than clams, are about the only things I can't have!
I just upgraded from a 55 to my 90. You will love the difference reef46, or is it reef95 now?

Most of the montipora's (cap. or digi.) you could keep (have mine under PCs lol). Probably bird's nest or something like that if they're close to the top of the tank too.

As of right now the stock list is:
2 perc clowns
1 LM Blenny
1 blue hippo
1 yellow tang
I need to get a bigger cleaning crew as all of my livestock came from my 46.
Corals will look like frags in this tank but I will have:
frogspawn
yellow polyps
various zoas
GSP
Xenia
Shrooms
I would like to add another cool fish, not shure yet which one
I wouls also like to getr wall to wall coral but that's gonna take a long, long, long, long time as I have No money
ANy suggested additions?

you dont have to paint the inside you can paint the outside or you can get one of those cool looking vinlys to stick to the back of the tank that make it look like you have more then what you have! has for additions i'd recommend a pygmy angel or someting small cause you already have 2 tangs that are going to be swimming back and forth! or a wrasse there cool too!

Yea, I have a vinyl background on my 29. Looks good, just gotta put it on like a decal with water and 'squeegee' it tight to the glass, otherwise you'll get air bubbles when viewed from the sides.
For fish yea, a pygmy angel would be cool, a flame angel with it's bright red would contrast nicely with the bright blue and yellow tangs. A leopard wrasse would be awesome, but I'd wait for the tank to establish a bit. Or my last thought, 2 or 3 anthias (lyretails are my fav. and easiest to keep). Though you'd have to have a fairly capable skimmer and be able to feed 2/3x a day.

Yeah, I guess I wan't very clear. Lol, I wasnt going to paint the inside of the tank. I think that would be toxic! I need to drain the water to move the tank away from the wall. it sits about 2 inches away and I cant fit a spray can there.

I've got some bad news. AS some of you know I was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago and my fiance's car is totaled. This has put us in a bit of a financial bind as we both need cars with work and such. I'm not possitive as of right now but I might have to sell the wave tank. 
I will let everyone know.
