What's your over all plan for the tank?? Some fish need to be added before others or at the same time to help eliminate aggression.
Whatever you start with, start slow and small to allow the tank time to mature. Give at LEAST 4-6 weeks between each addition unless you have two that need to be added together.
MOST OF ALL, have fun with it!!!! Stocking a tank can be as fun as watching it mature.
:cheer:

Hmmm, never heard that one. In comparision to other SW fish, I wouldn't list a GSM clown as a delicate fish.

Whoa Whoa slow down..
I know it is exciting but you can't have all of those fish in a 90 gallon. Pick out the ones you really like and get only 3-4 or less if they are bigger fish. I wouldn'd get an angel, eventually it will probably outgrow your tank. Remember, 1-3 inches of fish per gallon, but rules can be broken!! Not suggested
though

I just checked and it says on this site that they need 120 minimum, but I am told that to be comfortable they need like 150.

Start with a good clean up crew first. THEN add fish. 1 fish every 3-4 weeks.

you should start out with a few damsels and see if they die or survive if they do when u decide when you want to get your aggressive fish give the damsels back to the store or something.
