Planning a new tank (listen to the deal i got)

Time for an upgrade!!!!!
I am moving into a new place (more room) so naturally i want to upgrade my reef!

i currently have a 24g aquapod and have had success with it.
this girl that i deal with at the pet store recently told me she is selling her tank (convenient eh?) So here are the specs. (sorry i dont know brands but she is really into the stuff and im sure they are good)


95 gallon
wave front
cherry wood stand
2 metal halides
sand
live rock (125lbs)
sump
skimmer

everything i need for......
(she is in a hurry to get rid of it)
900 bucks
...
...
hells yes.

Anyway! So i want to start planning on what i want in there, wanna do reef, wanna keep mostly small fish. So questions....

How many fish (on average) can i keep in a 95.
What is the rule with more aggressive fish?

Really just looking for fish suggestions ones with a lot of character that have worked for you guys.

Let me know!

Love you RS!

Hello, small fish would be chromis, bi color blenny, six line wrasee, clown goby, clown fish, mandarin( after the tank has been up awhile of course),
maybe a tang, sounds like a nice set up

WOW thats a sweet deal, 900 bucks is a great deal for all that

typoically people say the rule of thumb is 1" of grown fish for every 5 gallons of water. now with good filtration and maintenance this can be pushed i feel

also, u can take into consideration the size of ur sump, water volume is the key due to pollutants. i have a 30 gallon sump/fuge so i add that in as well.
