I mean I think that you have a large bio load already, but I don't think it's impossible to keep one... if you were to get one I would REALLY be on top of water changes, filtration, and if you don't have one already, I would get a protein skimmer...

the problem I see is the yellow tang, can be very aggressive to new tangs. You'll need to add with caution and be prepared to move him out. To easy the transition is to add him in the evening with lights out and or rearrange the rocks.
Good luck.

yes I read about the size kole tangs could get and I don't think i will get one on account of my stocking list I was thinking about getting a few green chromis as I like schooling fish or are my other fish to aggresive?

You do have a busy tank but if you stay on top of maintenance I think you'll be fine. For Schooling fish I think you'd have better luck with fish on the smaller side. Something like Blue-Eyed Cardinalfish.

Oh the tank size is fine, even overkill. I'm concerned about your current stocking level, you've got a lot in there.
I had seven C. viridis for a few years they were all over 3" so I'm pretty sure they get bigger than 2".
