I have a 24"x24"x20"h cube (about 50 gal display + 10 gal sump) and am wondering if I am at my stocking limit or could add some other fish? My nutrients have been 0's since starting my refugium with chaeto so I am good there, but also want to take into account the growth of my fish since some are young and smaller than full grown. Let me know what you all think and if I have room, ideas for more fish!

Current Stocking:
2 Mocha Clowns
Mystery Wrasse
Flameback Angel
Bicolor Blenny
1 cerith snail
1 hermit crab
 
Some cardinals maybe. I’m running
Yellow tang
2 clowns
2 cardinals
Six line wrasse
In my 2ft cube, I like to run higher nitrates however because of LPS
 
Looks fairly full, but you can usually squeeze in the right small fish. The 2 foot length is a challenge.

Cardinal is a good suggestion.
Any tang wouldn't work beyond a QT situation in a 2' tank. Any wrasse will likely be eventually bullied/killed by the mystery.
 
It’s hard to say without knowing the rockwork situation IMHO. You have some large fish in terms of nano species that also get quite active (Especially the flame and mystery).
