    Hey guys, I wanted your opinion on this stock list. Since my tank is still cycling, I don't plan on owning any/all the fish on this list for some time, this is just a plan. I think I chose compatible and friendly fish, but I'm concerned I overstocked a bit. I just get so excited about all these wonderful fish options, its hard to choose.

    My tank is a 75 gallon, with 80 lbs of live sand and 70 lbs of live rock.

    1x Ocellaris Clownfish
    1x Tail Spot Blenny
    1x Blue & Gold Blenny
    1x Orange Lined Cardinalfish
    1x Spotted Cardinalfish
    1x Blue/Green Reef Chromis
    1x Yellow Clown Goby

    Too much? Also, do shrimp and crabs count towards the bio-load much? Thanks for your time!
