I currently have:
x2 Black Snowflake Clownfish
x1 Blue Stripe Clownfish
x1 Blue Spotted Jawfish
x1 Yellow Tang
x1 Hippo Tang
x1 Foxface
I want to add:
x1 Majestic Angelfish
x1 Melanurus Wrasse
x4 Lyretail Anthias (1:3 M/F)
Maybe:
x1 Harlequin Tusk

(I already know it would be overstocked, but I have great filtration and have a cleaning/water change schedule- just how overstocked is it?)

Thoughts/Concerns/Comments?
TIA!!

That's not much more than my 125 and with the fish list that I have it may not even be as heavy of a bioload. My 125 consists of:

4x lyretail anthias
3x green chromis
1x tomini tang
1x naso tang (8-9")
1x yellow tang (6-7")
1x powder blue tang (5")
1x scopes tang (4-5")
1x percula clownish

I run an over sized skimmer, a 20g refugium filled with macro algae, and enough seachem biomatrix for a system far larger than what I have. Po4 can get out of control if I'm not careful but no3 is always relatively low (<20). I've had this fish list for over a year (some of them I've had much longer than a decade) and they're all doing well.

I forgot one. I also have a diamond goby that loves to bury anything that touches his sand bed.

that’s like my blue spot, he’ll freak out and start redecorating the entire tank and spitting sand everywhere :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Mine is very methodical with his sand placement. I have a jack o lantern lepto growing lower down on one of the main pieces of rock. This fish HATES that coral. He buries it completely on a daily basis. You can see in the picture below that his work for the day is not quite complete. Lol.
