    So my 90g is doing well,. The 60g sump/fuge is maturing and a good skimmer. Gave my fish more swimming room. I realize I'm near the top of stocking, but I do still have a bit of room. My list now.

    Hippo Tang
    Scopas Tang
    Yellow tang
    Coral beauty
    Blue Blenny.
    Watchman Goby
    3 Chromis
    6-line Wrasse.
    Maroon Clown.

    More than likely, I will be finding the Maroon Clown a new home. I'm tired of him digging up my tank. Not sure if I will get another since they can all do it. I want a Royal Gramma, but those are small. What else can I get?

    The LFS suggested a Blue Chin Trigger, but don't want it getting too big.

    Well I just found out wanting my Clown gone and actually making that happen are two different things.

    I think the maroon will kill anything you add no matter the size..

    i'm not a big fan of maroon clowns, if you get rid of it you could get some ocellaris clowns in a plethora of colors, u could get naked ones, picasso, black and whites, etc. etc. and they wont dig up anything or be too agressive.

    My suggestion would be to go ahead and get ur royal gramma, you might also be able to get a dartfish Dartfish their pretty cool looking in my opnion.

    i also like the flame angel idea we have one and a royal gramma and its def. a nice burst of color when their swimming about.

    I didn't think you could put two dwarf Angels together.

    ive got both powerman. first night wasnt pretty, so i turned the lights out early and theyve been basically fine since. and also its my understanding, adding a flame after a coral is alot better than vice versa,
