You -may- have aggression issues with the multiple clowns, they are basically damsels and will defend territory and I don't normally recommend multiple pairs in tanks, even very large ones for their long term health. It can be done and done successfully, but it can lead to issues.

I would select a pair of one species of clown. You would more than likely see aggression if you try to keep different species. Gobies can be kept with them, but remember that certain clown species are more aggressive than others and can pester small bottom dwelling fish. Be sure the gobie has places to hide. A single yellow tang, purchased as a juvenile would be okay, but again, this is a fish that does best with a lot of lateral swimming room, something a 90 gallon doesn't really afford. A larger tank (6 foot) would be best for the fish as it grows. Other suitable choices include fairy wrasses, dwarf angels, basslets, cardinals, and blennies. Research each fish you plan to keep and ask about it here on these forums. Talking to folks who have actually kept them can help you make informed decisions.

I'd let a new tank go at least a couple months without fish in it. It's not just to let the nitrogen cycle stabalize, but to give your rock time away from preditors to establish itself.
