To much to quick???

I just in the past 4 days have gotten a huge branching hammer,a green hammer,a big neon green purple tipped elagance,a puprle-green tipped torch,a nice colony of xenias and a powder blue tang.There all in a 75 that already had 100 pounds of ls,80 pounds of lr,two colt corals,eight anenmoies,four feather dusters,a flower pot,a exsisting yellow frog-spawn,a sun polyp, and four big colonies of diffrent kinds of mushrooms. I managed to give all of them enough space but I'm curious to know if adding so much in a short time will cause any kind of spike in my water or do any type of harm at all.

Corals give off nowhere near as much waste as fishes do so I think you should be ok. The only problem I see is that you have chosen "aggressive" corals which need about 6 inches between each other and other corals so I'm wondering how you could accomplish this in a tank you size.

I have many aggressive ones that you have also, it helps my tank to run carbon to keep the toxins down that they seem to pollute the water with when moving them about. Be sure that the current they are in blows there "stuff" away from the other corals! I've read that the hammer, torch, frogspawn, is same family and won't hurt each other. (I wouldn't risk it personally though )

I have a green hammer right next to my pearl bubble and so far they are ok with each other. I also have them about two inches away from my foxface.

I'v got some corals right up on each other and others want allow it.I was just wondering if I had over-loaded?I really want to add a a couple of more corals and a naso?Can i do this?I'm really not interested in any more fish but the Naso I want is pretty big...I'd say he was about 5 to 6 in.I'm looking to a cup coral,a lobo brain,a pineapple and a orange leather.Plus I'll get another 10 to 15 pounds of lr.

I'd go the other way. Instead of getting one more big fish that will knock stuff over eventually, get several small reef fish. Firefish, dottyback, royal gramma, flame hawk etc. Just a suggestion. Sounds like you've got a great tank!

I appreciate the compliment Mal!!!I'v really been working on my tank and never seem to be content though.I'v had a reef tank for about 3 months now and just jumped from a 30 long to this 75.I'v just bought a custom made tank but it will be awhile before it is up and running.I could set it up alot sooner but I really don't want to break this tank I'v got down.Your probaly right about the fish.I'm just picky when it comes to fish.I'm not to framilar with the fish you suggested but I will look inti them.Thanks again.
