Anthias are nice but some need to be fed three times a day.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

If you want a hawkfish look into the flame hawk. Very cool fish with lots of personality, one of my favourites in my tank.

I just read that anthias need to be in a 150G tank on a web site. I thought they would be fine in a 90G.

Make sure you carefully research your antias if you put any in. I had three purple queen anthias in my tank that only lasted a couple of months. They were really timid eaters and just wouldn't compete with other fish for the food I put in the tank. Eventually they starved, even with me trying to target feed them

add a harem (3 or 4) royal grammas.

you will be blown away by how active these fish are (particularily the male as he attends to his ladies) when in a small group and given lots of hiding spaces and overhangs....
