Am i fully stocked?

think i might be, think i might have more room lol
Let me know your thoughts

72x18x18 tank
1 yellow tang
1 orange shoulder tang
1 blue tang
2 clowns
1 royal gramma
1 coral beauty
1 scooter blenny
various inverts.

 

this is coming from some one who has an overstocked tank but yes i believe you are.....im saying this because of the tangs you have and the amount they defecate.....but i would get a maited pair of mandarins. its soooo interesting to see them "dance" up and down the water column at night.

 

Yeah the yellow tang is full grown, the orangle shoulder is about half grown and the blue is still only 3 inches. So its not bad now. In a year they will be all full grown so I dont wanna overstock now and be really overstocked once they are big.

 

+1 on the overstocked, maybe even a bit too much when the other tangs get larger. I LOVE the orange shoulder tangs though.

 

If you have very capable filtration on the tank. i.e. Huge skimmer, ATS, bio-pellets. then you can handle more smaller fish. A nice little school of 5-6 chromis would be a nice addition.

 

Funny you say that. i love chromis ad plan on adding a group about that big. they wont add to much bioload so im not to concerned about that, plus my tang will just push em outa the way if they get in the way lol
i have a decent sized skimmer, pulls alot of junk.
my fuge is rocking and rolling
i am looking into biopellets now so that will be in the near future also.
i am relentless on water changes.
i know my "big fish" days are over, looking to see if any "fillers" like chromis ect. would be to much

thanks for the input so far.;D

 

I noticed aside from the scooter, you don't have any bottom dwellers. Maybe a goby or a jawfish would add some life to the sand bed.

 

true, maybe a goby.
my sandbed is a 1" to 2" in some spots so i think a jawfish is out.

 

Maybe a goby / pistol shrimp pair. That's my next addition after a pair of clowns.

 

I think you could have a few more small fish
