Imo a Hippo gets too big for your tank. I'm getting a 90 this week too, and I will have my Kole tang in it (stays small like Yellow tangs), and I'm considering one of the smaller Foxfaces just because of their algae prowess as I think they are ugly. I may never get one.
The Chromis will get quite aggressive when they get bigger, so you may want to reconsider that choice. The Fairy Wrasse is a great choice I think!! You could get two female Wrasses and a male...? The Mandarin will probably do well provided you let the tank mature for a year or so first. A smaller hawkfish could be a good addition, but they often eat ornamental shrimp and smaller snails/hermits. What about Cardinals? Orchid Dottyback? A jawfish? One of the Dartfish (Firefish)?
