Currently have a very well established 125 gallon tank with

2 clown fish max size 3”

2 fire fish max size 3”

2 green chromis max size 4”

1 long nose hawk fish max size 4”

1 yellow watchman max size 4”

1 sailfin tang max size 12”

1 blue hippo tang max size 12”

1 flasher wrasse max size 5”

1 striped damsel max size 4”

1 sharp nose gobie max size 2”

1 Midas blenny max size 6”

Total max inches 69”

I’m wanting to add a 1 spot fox face strawberry dottyback dwarf angel of some kind and a second wrasse to complete the overall look I’m going for I’m currently at the point of not knowing it that will be 2 many for my set up or if I would be okay.

Equipment are as follows

50 gallon sump
Reef octo 220 int skimmer
Gfo and carbon reactor
Chaeto reactor
5 gallon ato with red sea pump
Dual 7 inch socks plus filter floss in an additional chamber in the over flow
Parameters are always stable minus salinity due to everything being open.
 
I think you should be fine to add those fish. Although I wouldn’t add the dottyback for aggression reasons. If you want a similar fish I would go for a orchid dotty, black cap basslet, or purple tilefish.

yeah I went to my lfs they agreed on the dottyback said that I’d be better of finding a more peaceful vivid purple fish. They also kind of deterred me from the rabbit fish due to their like for zoas and softies.
