Hi there,
I have recently set up a new aquarium, a Red Sea Reefer 750xxl, with the intention of building a mixed reef tank which is something I have never done.
The tank currently has;

2 young Clown Fish
1 medium Tomini Tang
1 medium Powder Blue Tang
1 medium Mimic tang
1 algae blenny
4 small/ young chromis
1 juvenile orange shoulder tang
2 lyretail anthias
1 small six line wrasse

I’ve had this stocked like this for about 6 weeks, all my parameters seem really good, and there are no nitrates. I’m running a Red Sea 900 skimmer and will get a media reactor.

I’m just wondering if I will be able to add more fish to this set up? Or will it then be overstocked?
Just hoping to get a bit more colour in the tank, even if it’s just an angelfish and a copper band.

any help most welcome!
 
You could add more, the 900 skimmer is rated for 240 gallons with a heavy bio load. I wouldn't necessarily go with the 1"/gallon rule though, I'd stock a little lighter than that rule of thumb.
 
I think you could get by with some more fish. I'd think carefully about too many more tangs, but some wrasses, basslets, or other smaller fish would be a-ok. Copper bands are tough so do your research and angelfish sometimes have a tendency to eat corals so be cautious there as well.
