187g stocking wish list. Over crowded?

[Joiningsession]

Another stocking post. Recently cycled my first big boy tank, 187g 60x30x24, and curious if this would be considered potential too much in terms of aggression and bioload/nutrient control? I already have 1-7.

1. Yellow tang
2. Kole tang
3. Gem tang
4. Leopard wrasse
5. Red head Solon wrasse
6. Clown
7. Clown
8. Royal gramma
9. CBB
10. Banggai cardinal
11. Azure damsel
12. Firefish
13. Hectors goby
14. McCoskers flasher wrasse
15. Lubbocks fairy wrasse
16. Pintail fairy wrasse
17. Line spot flasher wrasse
18. Blonde nasso (have a 2-3in I can source)

18 fish “seems” like a lot so not sure if I’m thinking too big. Also I may stick with the yellow, like, and gem as the 3 tangs in the tank. If I grab the naso, it’s a baby and would only be housed while an acceptable size.

Any thoughts?

Should be fine. The only thing is that when you have this many fish you have to quarantine them because it will be a massive pain to qt all of them if one gets sick.

125 lbs, 140lbs sand. As of now filtration consists of only a Bubble magus curve 7, which for the bioload is undersized and will be upgraded at some point but I do plan on adding an algae scrubber first here in the next couple weeks.

I also have a few bio blocks on the way.

IMO a naso is too big for that tank but otherwise list looks good!

I would skip Naso and put 5-6 Azure Damsels or maybe few smaller Anthias
