What is the maximum stocking for a fluval 13.5? Thinking about putting an ocellaris pair in there and keeping it as their tank.
 
Maximum stocking is a hard one to advice on, it's all quite objective really and depending on what other livestock you have, but the Fluval Evo that I was running had:

2 x Clown Fish
1 x Banggai cardinalfish
1 x Royal Gramma
1 x Bicolor Goby

I have 2 clowns and a peppermint shrimp.

The clowns have grown and with the rock and quite a lot of mixed coral I wouldn't put anything else in there.
 
I kept 4-5 small fish in my evos when I had them. Just got to be too much extra work on top of the big tank.
 
Ya, two clowns are about the max for that size tank unless you want the extra work of doing frequent and large export. If that’s the case you could probably add an additional fish with a small bioload such as a tailspot blenny.
