Riddler's 90G Reef

[Riddler]

Well I wanted to start a project long of my 90G Reef.  The tank itself is a standard 90 with a 30 gallon sump.  So far the tank is doing great, cycled pretty quick but I did use cured rock and seeded the tank with cheato and live sand.

Full tank shot.  Little stirred up.

Left side with FrogSpawn and Hammer

My front rock in the sand that was moved over from my 24G Nano.  Started these zoo's from 1 head.

My clowns that have hosted my Open Brain.  Also moved over from the Nano.

This picture is of my Duncans  I bought these as a single head and have spawned 2 more.

Full tank show with the cabinet and canopy opened.  Lots of access for maintence.

Now that my 90G is up and running, I'm plannig to sell the 24G Nano.  I'm also needing to get my ATO running since I have to replace about 6 cups of water a day.  Also need a pump to run the TLF PhosBan reactor.  I'm planning MaxiJet 400's.

Very cool, I also need an auto top up, I'm a good bucket o water every other day

So I'm trying to get an idea for stocking this tank.  I'm not going to run out and buy everything at once. 

I already have:

2 Clowns
1 Pink Spot Goby
1 Cleaner Shrimp

These are what I'm planning to add:

1 Blue Hippo Tang (Wife's favorite fish)
1 Yellow Tang
1 Mandarin Goby (few years away)
1-2 Cleaner Shrimp
2-3 Peppermint Shrimp (once I start getting aptasia)

Now after this I'm kinda stumped about what to add.  I've been thinking a Purple Firefish, some anthias and maybe some cardinels.  ANyone have any thoughts on other fish?  Any wrasses?

Added a pair of Bangii Cardnals today.  Great looking fish and they love to hover near the top of the tank.

I've added a Yellow Tang (Small) and a Christmas Wrasse from Sea U Marine.

I've also added three frags of zoo's from Rick.  Thanks Rick they opened up great!

Well it's been a while since I've updated this.  I've upgraded some old hardware and I don't do much other than add water.  My reefKeeper does everything else.

Here's a FTS:

Here's a few my my favorite pics from the last few days.
