1 pair naked clowns.
1 clown tang (i was told if added last it wouldnt get too big.)
1 pearly jawfish or yellow headed jawfish.
5 green chromis.
20 turbo grazers.
10 blue leg hermits.
10 scarlet hermits.
1 yellow watchman.
1 cleaner shrimp.

is this too much???


i intend on having about 30 lbs of rock. probably 20 of base rock and 10 of live.
 
i would have to say no....
clowns- OK
tang- way out of the picture
jawfish- sure (pearly and yellow head are the same)
5 chromis souonds like kind of a lot but at least you aren't trying to keep them in 3's like most people, and you dont really have all that many fish if the tang is out (which it should be)
the inverts sound ok but you could get like 3-4 sleaners and have a harem...
the watchman sounds ok as well, watch out for him and the jawfish, they may fight a little, and really make sure that all the rock is firmly sitting on the glass bottom of the tank...

i would really try and add just a few more pounds of rock if the budget permits

sounds good! thanks for clearing that up for me. what tang could i potentially house? scopas? yello?
 
yeah zebrasoma would be the only tang i would consider for a 55-75-90... otherwise i'd be looking for a 125+
