Looking for advice on this semi-aggressive setup. there’s a single oddity fish that isn’t seen often in the aquarium trade so i will provide info if needed if im asked. originally, this was going to be around 310l but i decided to boost the size as i’m interested in keeping more fish. is it overstocked, or just right?

345-350 Litres, (around 90-95 us gallons) custom built tank of 125cm and 60cm deep, width probably will be around 45

powerhead: tunze 6055

reef lights: kessil a360x (2x)

protein skimmer: reef octopus 150 space saving

filtration/sump: fiji cube fiji 24 advanced reef

pink samoa sand #2, 1 inch

live rocks: E-Marco-400 Aquascaping Mortar Complete Kit - Pink, marcos dry live rock, pink fusion algae in a bottle

livestock: pulsing xenia, mushroom coral, fox coral, blue discosoma, pink keyna tree, toadstool leather coral, snowflake eel, arc eye hawkfish, emmae’s eel, and whitetail bristletooth tang

temperature will be around 23-24c.

some rock in the middle to isolate the xenia and seperately, caves at the left for the eels and tang gets some places to hide and graze, and for the hawkfish to perch.

hawkfish will be obtained at its adult size.
 
Seems fine to me, it is understocked if anything. I dont know what "Emmae's eel" is. If it were my tank I'd get more unique variations of all the fish listed but thats just me :P

Edit: If youre talking about "G. emmae", is it a positive ID?

That is correct! they are smaller than a snowflake eel, largest recorded is 43cm, their girth is a bit thinner as well. based on photos i seen, they are a bit thicker than ribbon eels but generally more thin than most eels in the hobby. they like sandbeds and caves.
