How many fish can I get/have

Hello
82lbs of live rock and aqua remoramprotein skimmer
I have a 75g and was wondering how many more fish I can have.
Livestock:
1 scooter blenny
2 bangi kardinal and 2 red eyed cardinals
1 pair of false clowns and 1 pair of black clowns
1 mccosker flasher
1 yellow watchman
4 turbo snail
5 chromis
2 crabs

 

I think you're at the limit IMO. Maybe one more medium sized fish... see the Calculator on this site.

 

16 fish is beyond overstocked.

 

You shouldn't really base number with overstocking...
Most of the fish are in the smaller size( and bioload)
I say you could get one more.
Maybe a yellow tang? Or a smaller sized fish like a flame angel.
Then again I could be wrong.. That's just IMO.

 

I wasn't. I was just trying to not get overly complicated with my answer, but still stating how I see it. Quite a few of those fish get to 2 or more inches when full grown. Looking at the adult size of them, and the sheer number of them, I think it's overstocked. Someone else suggested the calculator to see how much fish is appropriate for a 75 gallon tank. The calculator came up with 18.675 inches. Looking at the adult sizes of those fish, I think it will be closer to 30 or more inches. In my opinion, overstocked, or at the very least heavily stocked already.

Yeah, I know. I'm an old fart when it comes to tank stocking. A lot of people in this hobby keep heavily stocked tanks anymore. Very few believe in keeping a lightly stocked tank. Me, I'd rather have the built-in safety margin of a lightly stocked tank, so I err on the side of caution. And yeah, I expect to get flamed by a lot of people on this forum. The OP asked for opinions, and I gave mine. I'm by no means saying I'm right, just stating what I believe.

If any of that came across as harsh (or directed at you in any way, except the first paragraph, which was in answer to your previous post), I apologize. It wasn't meant that way.

 

Most of your fish are of the smaller variety, You will loose maybe one to three chromis' as the dominent ones will kill off the weaker ones. The clowns will find their spots in the tank. The 2 red eye cards will get big. The bangii cards stay in one area but are weak and might die off.
The flame angel or another smaller angel would be cool.
You always have to look at the big picture and figure what it's going to be like in a year or so. Otherwise you can get ready to get a bigger tank like I did.

 

You should only get 1 pair of clown. Why don't you like tangs? I would throw in a tang. I also have a watchman but you want to be careful because they are easily bullied and will die from stress. You are also going to need way more snails and hermits for your cleanup crew. Check out reefcleaners for their recomendations for a 75 gallon.

 

My tank is only 3ft long so that why I don't have tangs. Also, the black clowns are baby so they will never turn female.

 

perasonally, i would not add any more fish to your tank. but down the road through either deaths or your returning some to your lfs , you could add something new and cool. returning is always tough because we get attached to our little wet kids. lol. id hold of bloodkip, but thats just me.
