Double checking my stocking

[Cerberusfish]

Hey guys, I've recently decided to add a few more fish to my tank since I want to go from a 75 to a 120 anyway. But I'm nervous that even though everyone is small I'm still overdoing it. My tank is 7 months old and before I decided to add more fish o had 2 clowns, a royal gramma, 2 firefish and a tomini tang. Just added 3 blue/green chromis yesterday and I'm waiting for my LFS to get a Mandarin dragonet (that I already planned on getting) within the next week or 2. I was also thinking of adding a wrasse to this, probably a flasher of some sort. Am I going to cause myself problems with this many fish within the next year or so? I've got my pods where I think they can support my Mandarin and I'll watch him closely for the next year to be sure.

Clowns
Royal gramma
2 firefish
3 chromis
Tomini tang
Mandarin
Flasher wrasse

Totally reasonable stock list for a 120

But for my 75 would that be too much for now or should I be good

Oh, a little tighter, but also fine.

Thanks for the reassurance! This is my first reef tank and so far it's been going well but I don't want to push too far and lose anybody!

Keep a tight lid on your DT, the wrasse is a notorious jumper.

I made some screen lids for my firefish so I'm good to go. I checked all the corners for a good fit as well

Now would you guys call it quits here? Or is there room for anything else? Not planning on adding anything after this just trying to get a good idea on stock levels.

Flashers tend to be introduced In the initial stockings with other more docile fish so you may have to manage any aggression, my guess, likely the tang, maybe the gramma, hopefully short lived if any.

If your talking a 120g, you have some more room.
I have your stocking in my 65g, but with two tangs, but that’s max for me.

Once the two tangs went in last, they will not allow anyone else.

Totally fine in the 75. Most of those fish are smallish and tbh you will probably only have 1 chromis in less than a year. If you have sand, then I'd get a goby/shrimp pair at some point.

Why do you say I'll only have 1 chromis?

It quite typical for chromis, to go from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1.....one by one.......they do it to themselves....
