How much stock for a 30 gallon?

[Krazymuncher]

This is what I want to get in my 30 gallon. I already have 2 clowns but i want to add an anemone, a hawkfish or goby and a few corals and maybe a Lubbocks fairy wrasse or shrimp. Would this be too much for a 30 gallon? the tank has been set up for nearly a year now.

it really depends on who you ask. Personally I think that stocking is fine. However if you ask someone else, someone might say two clowns in a 30 is too small (those people do exist). You'll probably find most people will say a lubbocks in a 30 is probably the absolute minimum, but I personally wouldn't worry about it too much. Its more just kinda sad to see a fish with so little room. You can add the fish and as long as you stay on top of your water quality there shouldn't be any problems, I've kept more in smaller tanks without problems and I just did my normal biweekly water changes and never had problems.
