Stocking List for my 45g - Thoughts? Any concerns?

[Doostur]

Figured I'd run my stocking list by everyone. 45g tank w/ 10-15g sump, Reef Octopus BH-1000 Skimmer.

If you see any personality conflicts please let me know. There have been no issues with my chromis and 2 clowns. The Blenny and Wrasse in QT are getting along great and stick together. Was hoping to bond a watchman goby and pistol shrimp. Current stock....

- 10 Hermits
- 6 Astrea Snails
- 1 Blood Shrimp
- 1 Cleaner Shrimp
- 1 Coral Banded Shrimp

- 1 Blue Reed Chromis
- 2 Clowns (Bonded)
- Midas Blenny (Currently in QT)
- Red Fin Fairy Wrasse (Currently in QT)

Thinking about adding...

- Yellow Watchman Goby
- Tiger Pistol Shrimp

At this point would I be able to add anymore fish? Or would I be pushing it at this point? If I could add more fish it would be one of the following...

- Purple Firefish
- Blue Spot Jawfish
- Royal Gramma
- Blue Mandarin Goby

Thanks :) Nothing compared to some of the tanks I have seen on here! Sucks we don't have the room for a bigger tank.

That will ways be the case. No tank is big enough.
Give your tank time it will look better with time.

There aren't any compatibility issues.

As far as getting new fish, each tank is different. As long as nutrient levels are mainained, and the fish get along, you should be fine.

Of the fish you are considering adding, blue spot jaws do better with tempeatures cooler than most reef tanks are kept. That size tank is borderline for a mandarin, but there aren't any other pod eaters, so it should be fine if you let the tank mature for 9-12 months before adding one.

After adding the watchman goby and pistol shrimp, how many more fish do you guys think we can add safely?

It really depends on your tank. You may be done stocking due to nutrient control or you may be able to add a handful of more fish.

Test your water frequently and add slowly.
