Achilles tangs have a very poor record in captivity.

When they do survive they are usually kept in large tanks with turbulent flow.

They are not a beginner species and should be left to only experienced hobbyists.

90 gallons may not be enough for an achilles. They require an abudance of swimming space. I've had no problems with mine (other than bullying) in a 240. Also consider re-evaluating your system before a second attempt at keeping a difficult species.

Just my experience,
