    Alright i own a 75 gallon FOWLR but soon to be reef. Anyways right now i own a coral Beauty,1 chromis,1 six line,1 cleaner shrimp,2 olive snails witch are always under the sand.Do you think i will be over stocking if i add maybe a watchmen goby and yellow tang? I will also give up my chromis if i have to.

    You should be fine with the goby, the tang would be ok if small, but remember they grow rather large. They also produce a lot of waste, so a good skimmer is needed to keep up.

    How much lr do you have?

    I have quite a bit more than that in a 72g with about 120lbs of lr and its doing fine. Just look in my signature for a list of fish.

    Good Luck
