Now that I have decided to not get a lionfish in my 90g tank this is what I've been thinking about:
Flame angel x 1
Kole tang x1
Foxface lo x1
I am also looking at the different types of wrasses and planning on having one of them in there. Here is a problem,I have a picaso trigger (about 1.5 inch) that I had to move in there to keep from killing a cardnal in a smaller tank. I know it shouldn't have been in the smaller tank to begin with but my LFS told me it would be fine. That being said I am looking for suggestions on what type of wrasse I could add and in what order should I add these fish to my tank? Thanks for any and all advice!

Well, my trigger fish will no longer be an issue in my tank, I found him on the floor behind te tank this morning when I went to feed him :(

Add the flame last. They need a really established tank. They can also be a little aggressive towards new tank mates.
Flasher and/ or fairy wrasses would work nicely. Even a small harem of them.
I'd add some bottom dwellers, like a green banded goby trio.
And I'm one of those people that thinks every tank that can have one, should have a blenny :) They just have so much character

Dude, SO sorry about your Picasso. Those are some beautiful fish with tons of personality. If I had gown FOWLR....That would have been on the top of my fish list.
I'm with BTLDReef, there are many wrasses you could introduce. You can do a couple in a 90g with little competition as long as your rockwork is good for hiding niches. Wrasses aren't usually known to be aggressive to other species in the family. I have a Mystery in mine, and plan on adding a McCosker's at the very least...possibly a Leopard as well in fact. Your 90g could easily support a small harem if you can find females of one of the flasher species.
I don't think I agree with the green banded goby trio, though. Those are SO small, they would probably get lost in a 90g tank. Don't think you'd see them often.
