    90 gallon tank so far i have these as a start just thought id get some opinions

    cinnamon clown
    2 blue velvet damsels
    1 three stripe^
    1 domino^
    fuzzy dwarf lion
    snowflake eel
    blue jaw trigger
    cleaner wrasse

    i think im about at where i want it with stocking but i like activity in my tank and also like aggressive so i thought id try to to a aggressive reef setup without inverts though because of the trigger and eel

    The only options that I would personally consider of those listed are the blue jaw and cleaner wrasse.

    Bluejaws are awesome, cleaner wrasses are very hard to keep :(
    Those damsels will make a nice meal for the lion and eel

    yeah i thought about that but buying the eel small and damsels big i was hoping to avoid any issues with them and the dwarf lion i dident think would be problematic with small fish since its pretty small on its own but ive never seen more than one in person so i could misjudging the mouth size haha

    Goatfish need tanks of at least 125 gallons, I had a yellow goatfish and it swam all day across the tank plus they grow quite fast.
    Eels will go after the damsel just by predatory instinc IMHO
