29g stocking

[Mandrew]

I have a 29g tank with one clown fish in it as well as a few zoas and lps corals. I'm looking into ordering some fish/corals online and want to make sure I don't add too much at once while still ordering enough to hit free shipping [emoji6]
The tank has a HOB fuge with chaeto and I just put a HOB skimmer on last week. (Reef Octopus BH1000, rated up to 75g I believe.)

I would like to add a firefish, bengai cardinal, and a cleaner shrimp, as well as a few corals. Would it be acceptable to add that much all at once in this tank? It has been running for probably 5-6 months I just haven't really added anything to it... the corals in mind would be mostly lps like frogspawn, Acans, maybe a leather or two. And possibly one or two SPS to get my feet wet with them. I appreciate All of your opinions on this!

The recommended practice is to add fish one at a time with 3 or 4 weeks in between. This gives your bio filter time to adjust. With that said, I added a pair of orchid dottybacks to my 28 gal DT w/o any trouble.
You should quarantine any new fish and corals so maybe you could keep one of the fish in QT while your bio filter adjust to the new load.

There shouldn't be any issues with this stocking.

Probably, while my tank is a little bigger I have hit it harder at times.

Your list seems like it'd be fine. I don't think those aren't poop-machines like clowns.

I appreciate all your replies! I don't currently have a QT system or I would totally follow that advice. I know it's risky but as of now with my limited space I'm just going to have to take a gamble.
