Hello all - Currently, I have a 90G FO tank with 60lbs. base rock. Eventually, I will be adding another 40lbs. or so of live rock. Right now, I have 2 damsels, and one yellow Tang, and a couple of crabs. I am currently researching some fish and came up with a list. Will you all let me know if this looks ok? I am going to add 1 fish every 4-6 weeks to let the cycle catch up each time:

Foxface Lo
Xanthurus Cream Angel
Humu Picasso Triggerfish
Spotted Puffer

Thanks for your suggestions.
Mike

I dont think your tang & foxface rabbit will get along too well. If one is considerably larger than the other. It might work. I havnt had very good luck with mixing the two as the yellow tangs can become quite aggressive/terriorial. The trigger & angel should be fine. Cannot comment on the puffer as I have never had one. Keep in mind that some of these fish grow quite large and might not all be suited for a 90 gallon.

Thanks Patsfan. I was looking at the Spotted Puffer, which they claim only gets 5", and liveaquaria.com recommends a 50G minimum. I wanted the other ones, but they get too big. If I get a Foxface Lo, I will make sure he is bigger than the yellow tang. Right now, the tang is a juvenile about 2.5" long. Thanks for your input.

Why dont you put in some live rock now, during the wait. Then at least they have a chance to migrate to the dead rocks. I'd put a couple pounds now and get the other 30+ pounds of live rock you said you were going to get later

I will most likely go that route while I am waiting, since it will take some time to acclimate, and cure the rock.
