One final question. My LFS has a Purple Tang that is presently being quarantined and treated for a (so far) minor outbreak of Ich (it is not for sale untill it has fully recovered). This is a beautiful fish that I am also considering. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this fish would do in a 90 gallon tank. I do realize that all Tangs are prone to Ich but I would be willing to give it a try if it stood a good chance of doing well in my tank. The LFS seems to do a good job of treating fish and not selling unhealthy specimens untill they are in good health and eating well, so they won't sell the Purple Tang untill it appears healthy. I would of course quarantine the fish as I already have a quarantine tank setup.

Personally, I think you have enough in the 90 already. I'd hold off on a Tang until you get the 135g converted. JMO.

Cheers,

If you get the purple tang from the store when it has "recovered" you are still introducing ich into you tank likely, so I would stay away from it entirely. Or QT for a long time before adding to your setup.

What about a couple lyretail anthias? Or a fairy wrasse? They are colorfull and non-aggresive fish.
