I have a 90 gallon Red Sea reefer 425 (47x22x22) tank. My friend is moving unexpectedly and wants to give me his 3 resplendent Anthias.

My tank has been struggling to keep nutrients elevated but it’s well stocked already:

2 small o clowns
Royal Gramma
Coral beauty
Small 1 spot foxface
White tail tang
Small purple tang
Melanurus wrasse
Watchman goby
Mandarin
Small bicolor blenny
(11 total)

There’s very low agression in tank

My nitrates I struggle to keep above 3 and my phosphates are undetectable.

I feed heavily 7x per day with an avast marine plank and despite this nutrients stay too low

I like the fish and I think they will help my nutrient issue, but I’m worried about over crowding. FWIW nothing seems to stay in the top of the water column in my tank
