The best way to save money is to decide exactly what you want, research compatibility and care of the animals then make your final list and stick to it. You can find all sorts of good deals but if one of these "deals" kills the other fish or eats all the corals or invertebrates then it's just false economy. Resist the urge to buy something because it looks nice or is cheap without checking into it first and you can save a pile of cash and frustration. 90 gallons is a nice size and you can get a good variety of fish in there.

Ya, just plan well and that'll save you a bunch. I really like king Ed pets for getting me the fish I have trouble finding and they do it for a good price. JL alsways has a good mix of fish. OA will give you a pretty good steal now and them, keep an eye on them.

I have 2 large (2'') green chromis to spare. They are the first fish in my 120gal. Take both for $5.

If you're ever in the Kamloops area, sick lid would be a good source for fish, he breeds a number of species. He put up a couple of posts recently and will deliver to Vernon/Kelowna, not Burnaby though, I reckon.
