Is there a sump.lighting specs.
live sand i don't think you need it.get dry and seed it from maybe a friend's tank you trust.
Same for live rock why spend soo much money for live instead of dry and do same seed it later.Unless you got a good deal by buying someones setup.
look into Hawaiian blue tang or sailfin part of the cleaning crew.
everyone has a different idea about cleanup crew,i have only 2 ghost snails for cleanup.all parameters top shape and no i mean none hair algae,most people seen my tank will vouch for that.

I'd go with less rock & sand. I'd also cover the tank. I've had firefish, wrasses & clowns jump from mine.

I'd add several nassarius snails and a few cerith snails too.

IMO I would not put a blue tang or sailfin in a 90g. I think they get too large for a 90g. I'd stick with one of the bristletooth tangs or the yellow tang.
