my current set up - 240 g cube 48x48x24 with 250 lbs live rock- NO SAND BED- RLSS * skimmer.. current live stock fish:

2 yellow tangs
1 naso tang
1 blue hippo tang
2 clowns
1 red head wrasse
5 green chromis

all together these fish have been living peacefully for over a year...

i want to add 18 more green chromis- is this fish overload?
 
I think you will be fine. No.
 
That is fine, but will put additional po4/no3 load on the tank. If your not concered about algae then id say go for it.

In my 200 there is 9 chromis, a foxface and gold spotted rabbitfish. So far so good!

Your bioload is pretty light as it is for that size tank and chromis defecate like a grain of sand a day. You will be fine.

If that's too many for a 240, I'm in real trouble in my 90! :)
