80 gallon 48x24x17. 20 gallon sump with skimmer. 75 # of live rock, dsb, 1700ghp flow.
Current stocking:
Mated pair of maroon clowns
cherub angel
fiji blue devil damsel
melanarus wrasse.

What do you think obout my stocking? Could I add another fish or 2 and what would you suggest? I do have a feather duster, snail/crab cuc,and soft corals. I am working on eventually upgrading to lps and sps, so something reef safe. I know the wrasse could be a problem with the feather duster but he has been in there for a few months now and nothing yet.

Well, Your female maroon clown is going to become an issue. Although I think a small tang like a Tomoni tang would be nice in there as well as a low swimmer like a goby or jawfish.

What gallons is your skimmer rated for?

Edit: Now that I think about it, a jawfish is not a good idea with a DSB

It is a 100 gph skkimmer. The maroon clown has actually been pretty peaceful so far. She is close to full grown now. I got the pair and the wrasse from a guy who was moving, so they have been together for a long time, and the others seem to be holding their own with her.
