I currently have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been up and running for about 6 months now.

Current Fish Stock:
1 Female Bellus Angel
2 Black and White Clown
3 Blue Green Chromis
3 Pajama Cardinal
1 African Leopard Wrasse Female
1 Purple Firefish
1 Lawnmower Blenny

Everyone is in perfect harmony and has been for a while. The last fish (Bellus Angel) was added about 6 weeks ago.

I test my nitrates once a week before water change and never register over 1ppm.

My question is, am I maxed out on fish? I was thinking about adding a small yellow tang. Any other suggestions on fish to add if not maxed out.

Thanks
 
thats alot you got going in there lol do you only check your nitrates?
ever thought about swapping some fish out like the 3 chromis for another fish
whats your filtration look like?

I test for low range nitrates, calcium, magnesium, alk, and phosphates weekly. I monitor temp and ph though monitor.

I would swap but those little guys are hard to catch and I really don't want to stress the tank out I would rather keep the harmony thing going.

Filtration:
30 gallon sump with refugium
Reef Octopus SX160
NextReef SMR1 with Ecobark
Chemi Pure Elite
Purigen
About 90 lbs of rock
About 90 pounds of live sand
UV Sterilizer
Red Mangrove in the sump

Here's a pic.

I would say no but looking at your set up you really do not have enough rock because you would be running out of homes. The good thing is all your fish stay relatively small, so you really are not at you max

I have a bunch of rock in the sump, I could add to display.
