Here's my fish stock list, would it be too much to add another Fairy Wrasse and maybe a hawk fish?

Diamond Goby
Green Chromis x1
Whitetail Bristletooth
Oscellaris Clownfish Pair
Purple Firefish
Linespot Flasher Wrasse
Algae Blenny
Mandarin
Bangaii Cardinal Pair
Melanurus Wrasse

I think you’ll be fine as long as you can manage nutrients. Make sure you can export effectively. Either way, I wouldn’t add all those at one time. Break it up into a few purchases so the system can get used to the bio load.

Tanks been up and running about 7 months and that's everything I've got at the moment. Minus the Tang all the fish are still pretty small too. Give or take 1 to 2".

Fwiw I also plan on upgrading to a 125 or bigger.

But I guess I should get my skimmer working again before I add another fish. I added Dr. Tims First Defense and now it immediately foams over the collection cup when I run it. Been over a week since I added that.

I suggest leaving “room” for a worker fish if the need arises. For example, Aiptasia appears, get a Molly Miller Blenny or Court Jester Goby if you have hair algae. For small bio load fish I love the Green Warpaint Clown Goby or similar looking yellow one the Citron Goby.

What about a longnose hawkfish? I haven't got any shrimp, just couple hermits, Conch, 2 short spine Urchins and a Porcelain crab.

I have a skunk cleaner shrimp & a fire shrimp in with a Flame Hawk and haven’t had any problems since fish was introduced a month ago. I haven’t had any evidence yet if he has eaten any hermit crabs yet. Maybe I’ll be lucky.

Would stick to this and call it a day. Enjoy your tank.
