Here is how I would look at it

1. Are the fish all healthy?
2. Is your filtration able to handle it all
3. Do you fish get along

Now you know in the long run the Hippo will probably have to go because it will get to big. However if you answer yes to the 3 questions I think you are fine.

As long as your water parameters stay in check they should be fine. But it is your tank and you are the one who decides.

well nitrates at 30 now
2days ago were at 80-90 did a 50% change water ,going to do another tomorrow to get lower,

they all get along but these chromis are about 2 1/2 inches long,
Not sure why nitrates went up had other threads about nitrate some people say it was the dry rock some say its overfeeding ..i just didnt now if it was to full

I sold my SWC skimmer about 3 months ago and got a Reef Oc nw 200 thinking it was better but im not convinced yet.. suppose to skim 200g but i believe the SWC was better ..but anyway

all fish are healthy also
just the tangs poop alot whenever they see me come up to the tank

will be upgrading in a year to around a 200 so the hippo will be okay.

well to be 100% I have that many fish plus a couple in a 92 corner. You might wanna get a little bigger clean up crew to handle all the poop and such.....

I have

50-75 snails
100 hermits
6 emerald crabs
6 pep shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
1 cucumber
1 urchin
2 sand siffing stars
