hi this is my first marine aquarium, i have a 90g tank with 90lb coral sand, 55lb live rock and 45kg coral base rock. The cycling finished about a month ago and have added two small clowns, 5 chromis,1 peppermint shrimp and lots of hitchhikers from live rock. Water quality has been good so have also added 2 pieces of coral. Now in future there are a few fish i would like to add.
1 yellow tang
1 flame angel
1 royal gramma
Would these fish be ok together, also whats the best order to add them so minimise aggression and are there any other fish that would be suitible. And how long should i wait until i add more.
Thank you

I'd add them in the order of royal gramma, flame angel and the yellow tang.

+1 ... that is the best order IMO.

Thanks for the quick reply.
What time frame apart from each other would you suggest adding them

+1, definitely wait at least two weeks for the next addition (fish, corals will be fine as they add little to the bio-load), wait for the tank to adjust to the fish you just added.
