I would say you're good. Give it 5 years

On paper that seems bananas.

Let’s see the tank. You have a lot of fish so if things are going great I would stick with what you got.

It really depends on the current size of your fish. I have roughly two dozen fish in my 72” 160-gallon, but my angels are all dwarfs, the pair of tangs are <3” and the rest of the fish are all much smaller.

You’re already overstocked. I would not add anymore fish

It’s like a rubber band, push to far, the band will break.
Are you willing to risk that?

nice tank. I stand by me \y original comments wait 5 years. the fish you have are going to outgrow the tank

Plan is convert office to fish room and new tank 120x32x25. That only 2 1/2 years away from now

Ultimately it's up to you, but it might get a bit crowded between now and then. Good luck!

My 5 years comment was about the fact that in 5 years - assuming your fish survive (sure they will) - you will have more than you can handle - IMHO

 

[GHOSTLY]

Honestly not being snarky but that imo is a tad bit overstocked. You should be fine assuming your up with water changes but I would not risk it unless its like a clown goby

 

[Chris Spaulding]

Yes not adding anymore at all. More wishful thinking than anything else

dude, don't let these reef heads discourage you. If your system biological can handle it, why not? I assume you got an oversized skimmer. If you're really worried, get you additional filtration. Maybe a roller mat, algae scrubber? I seen alot heaver stocked tank.

Right why not get a nurse shark?

Just get a roller mat!

It’s funny when it’s a fowlr, it gets stocked to the brim with fish and everyone is ooohhh and aaahhh’s. But if it’s a reef tank. Two designer clowns, a wrasse and a tang only. Lol

one regal won’t cause his system to crash. His tank will adjust to the increased bioload. Stop overreacting.
