I have a 120 gallon reef, that has been up and running for several months now. I have been slowly adding stock to it and was just seeking out some opinions on the current stock list, too much, safe, how much more if any can I add in your opinion(s)
140# live rock
4" of live sand
Water quality in great shape
2 False Ocellaris Clowns (2" long)
2 Royal Grammas (2" long)
1 Blue Hippo Tang (2" long)
1 Sailfin Tang (2" long)
1 Pink and blue spot shrimp goby (4" long)
1 Spotted Mandrin Dragonet (1.5" long)
1 Foxface (3.5" long)
Janitorial Service consists of:
25 blue and red hermits
3 Queen Conch
5 Emerald Crabs (small)
20 Turbo Snails
1 Sally Lightfoot
Corals consist of an assortment of soft and hard bodied about 9 in total.
Have I gone too far on the fish stocking or am I still okay?
Thanks for you input.

for now your ok. in the long run that sailfin will have to go but other then that you should not have much trouble with proper aquascape to give everyone its own place to call home.
the dragonet may be a bad choice due to such a new tank with not much rock and other pod eaters in the tank but some eat prepared foods so only time will tell.

If I were you I would add ALOT more snails to the tank. I like to think about 1 for every 1-3 gallons. I would also get some different kinds of snails. But no more fish

I had no intention of two Grammas, but I must have made a mistake when I made the order, or hit the button twice, only ment to get one. They did fight a bit at the start, but they have moved to oposite sides of the tank and ignore each other now. Thanks for the input, if figured I was at the outside edge of stocking, no plans on any more additions, unless there is a unexpected death.
Thanks again.

I am partial to nessarius snails, they are really great at cleaning the sand and they are cool to watch. They really can't hurt any other tank mates either.
