Overstocked?

[Riddler05]

I have a 90 gallon tank running biopellets and GFO for filtration. I feed quite heavily (2x a day) but my nitrates are only around 2ppm and my phosphate is around 0.04ppm. I have a wide range of corals but mostly LPS and hardy SPS like montipora. I also currently have 3 BTA ranging in size from 8in in diameter to one that is about the size of a silver dollar. Here is my current stocking list and I have very little aggression problems even though some of my combinations are a bit risky.

1. Yellow Watchman Goby
2 Banggai Cardnal Fish
3. Three Ocellarus clown fish (large orange one, medium black one, and small Wyoming white who pretty much just stays on the other side of the tank and nobody bothers him)
4. Melanarus (Hoven's) wrasse
5. Checkerboard wrasse
6. Small snowflake eel (about the size of a pencil)
7. Mimic lemmonpeel tang (in quarantine so not in the main display tank)

I would like to add a harlequin tusk and maybe a foxface to help with algea since the wrasses keep eating my cleanup crew.

I know that this is pushing the stocking for this size tank but is it do-able?

If you have any sort of cuc i would not add the harlequin. They are not considered reef safe.

The Hoven's wrasse has pretty muched killed my CUC so I'm not so worried about that.

The checkerboard wrasse can get to 11", the tang, 8", the HT 10", the snowflake 2', and a fox face 7-9" depending on the species. I don't think you would have a happy ending with that stocking but someone more knowledgable than me will hopefully chime in.

I'd say that stocklist should work short term if you aren't concerned about having a diverse invert population. As others have mentioned a lot of your specimens will grow to considerable size so be prepared to remove some of the fish as they start to get too large. Or just use it as an excuse to justify a tank upgrade a year down the line. Best of Luck!
