Hey everyone!
I recently added some new fish to my 100-110 (I’m not 100% sure the size) and I’m worried I have too much.
( I did not add all these fish at once)
This is my stocking list:
1x 2inch sailfin tang ( I will have upgraded by the time it grows to big for this tank)
1x 3.5 inch bullet goby
1x 3.5 inch Melanurus wrasse
2x 1.5 inch skunk clownfish
1x 2 inch yellow watchman (he just stays in the rocks
1x 1 inch blue/green chromis ( he killed his friends)
5x 1 inch Alleni damsels
1x 1 inch fire fish
1x 1.5 inch orchid dotty back
1x 1.5 inch cleaner wrasse ( I think this was a bad decision)
Is this too much? I wanted to have a lot of small fish but I feel like I am going to regret adding so many
I have a lot of sand a live rock so I’m not to worried about territory. I don’t really know what specifically I am worried about lol. I just feel I went over the top.

What do you guys think?

What're your gold regarding to corals?
lps,sps,mix reef
I think you meant goals. All of my corals are soft corals and have been doing fairly well after a little rough spot, I have 2 very large fuzzy mushroom corals, a goniopora, a Seabea anemone( who is loving the increased nitrates for some reason) and firework cloves. I don’t know that I plan on adding many more corals for a while because I have already spent so much money on live stock.

Edit: I tried keeping a candy cane coral but it has not been doing good for the past couple months( I went through a phase where I couldn’t stay on top of water parameters as much.

It depends on size and growth potential but you should be good.
For me, its Not how many fish but if I need a bigger tank. I always need a bigger tank !

IMHO, it all depends on what you're doing filtration wise to get rid of waste.
If you have a Skimmer, decent Refugium or both you can have more livestock. If not, then you need to be aggressive with water changes to offset the waste more fish will produce.
