Hello reefers. I've had a Red Sea Max s500 for about 10 months now, and I'm considering adding a magnificent fox foxface. I just want to make sure I'm not overstocking. Display is about 120 gallons, 12 gallon sump. The only two biggish fish I have are a purple tang and a regal angelfish. Both are still juvenile now. Otherwise I have a mandarin, 2 firefish, 2 clowns, a diamond goby, a molly miller blenny, and 4 lyretail anthias. I don't want to overcrowd. Thanks!
 
Pics of the tank? Amount of rock and hiding places is the biggest factor. If every fish can't have a personal place to sleep you're overstocked.

Good amount of hiding spots.

Just out of curiosity, have you done a power outage test? I don't know if a 12 gallon sump can handle the overflow.
Its actually 16 gallons. Have not done that test, but it's a standard Red Sea Max s500. Standard display and sump. I assume it's all good.
