stocking question please help!

i have a 36 gallon bowfront with an emperor 400 filter and an aquac remora(not pro) protein skimmer. today i bout some new fish but i think i may have overstocked my tank...please tell me if i have or not. in it right now is a 2inch hippo tang, a 2inch flame angel, a 2 1/2 inch foxface, a 2inch dwarf lion, and a 4 inch snowflake eel. i was told inverts don't count but i will list them anyways just in case...they are 1 choc chip starfish, 2 fireshrimp, 1 big turbo snails, 7 emerald crabs, and maybe 20 other snails...is my tank overstock, maxed out, or can i add something else if i choose to? please help me

The hippo tang is definitely not for a 36gal tank. Same with the Foxface. The eel will also outgrow your tank.
The drawf lion is ok. The flame angel is kinda ok.

ya ur deffinatly maxed out with the fish u chose the blue hippo will get to big for your tank i think the foxface might too also i think the eel will get too big too u can keep them for a little but u will eventually have to get ride of them srry to be like the bad news person
also do u plan on it being aa reef or a FOWL and has it cycled?
 
the tank has been cycled i have had the eel and the lion in their for about 2 months and the live rock 50pds worth in the tank a month before the eel and lion. i just added the foxface about a week ago and i added the hippo and the flame today...well i guess i will have to upgrade to a new tank in about a year :( they all look so neat though in this tank ahah

Take back every fish and eel you bought except the angle.your tank cant handle any fish that will reach more than 3-5 inches fully grown.the lion is to aggressive to keep any fish with him in that small of a tank(i found that out the hard way)
