no
sounds like an awful amount of fish to be in a 90, and i wouldnt want that on my conscience. the move sounds like it would be quite stressful.
just mho.

Seems like a fair price. Depends on how much rock, what type of light, type of skimmer but as a general rule sounds like a pretty good price. Just out of curiosity, where is the tank located? LMAO.. Sorry I could not refuse.

The question you need to ask yourself is "would this setup be something you want to run?"
First thing you need to consider is that the canister filter should go. Then you need to think if you want to go reef or just fish-only. If you're going to want coral, the light isn't very good and the UV sterilizer shouldn't be run on a reef tank (will kill planktonic life that's needed for most coral), and the angels included would be a problem. Then you also need to consider the other fish that come along; most of those don't belong in a 90g, they'll get too big. The Naso and Hippo tangs need to be in something much, much bigger (nasos get up to 18 inches long and hippos get up to 12 inches), and the sailfin probably should be in something bigger too.
If you really want a 90g, fish-only, this might be a decent deal (granted you get rid of the tangs noted above), but if you want a reef tank, or you actually want those types of tangs, you need something bigger and/or with different equipment.

Thanks. I initially thought the amount of fish was alot. The only thing I would get would have been a host for the clowns. She said the lights were so great. I really love your analysis.
