Currently have an established 90 gallon mixed reef. System is plumbed to a large sump in the basement. So far I’ve got the following:
Red fairy wrasse
Hovens wrasse
Fuji Christmas wrasse
Yellow tang
Half black mimic tang

LFS had a pair of bonded Clarkii clownfish that I’ve got my eye on. Would these overload my tank? Honestly I’m really looking for something orange, any suggestions of smaller compatible orange fish for my tank?

You do know they can be aggressive

I’m probably not the right guy to ask this question but my stock list is significantly higher than that but I have good filtration and a regular (2 week water maintenance schedule) and I use a fixed dose of bacto balance for coral nutrition and nutrient stabilization.

That being said I have the following in a 90 + 30 sump

Hippo tang (small-medium)
Yellow tang (med)
Foxface (med)
X2 clowns
X2 Bangai
Royal gramma
Firefish
Flame angel
3 Anthias
Angler wrasse —> the only guy I wish I could catch
Blue throat wrasse
8 tail wrasse
Yellow flanked wrasse
Melanarus wrasse

Wow, beautiful reef, love the natural filled in look. I also have a good tank maintenance routine, weekly water change. I’m running a 90 gallon tank with a DIY 75 gallon sump, mostly macro algae, live rock and a protein skimmer.

I am concerned about disrupting my current balance by adding the Clarkii clowns. Maybe another wrasse, I do love to movement and color
