Is this too much to add?

My 75g has been up for 6 weeks. Water parameters are perfect so far. I added 4 large turbos, 4 yellow tip hermits, a nassarius snail, and 4 cerrith snails about two weeks ago. Nitrates still at 0 and tank is doing great!
If I add 10 blue leg hermits, 10 nassarius snails, a small brittle starfish, and 4 small green riccordea polyps, will I overload my tank?

No and congratulations on having patience an letting your tank get ready for the start of introducing livestock. Post some pictures sounds like a nice tank. Tell us more about it, filtration, lighting etc.

It's rather ugly at the moment. My cuc annihilated my diatom bloom so I increased my light cycle. Guess what happened.
Algae blooms. At least there is more green than brown this time.
My tank is a 75g with 120 lbs live rock and a dsb. I have two 150 watt mh pendants. I'm only running a hob filter at the moment. I am building an overflow and sump system which will be running before I get the livestock. I will have chaeto in the refuge. I'm looking for a protein skimmer(on a tight budget) if you have recommendations. I was trying to get a used remora pro.
