Too full?

[sammyg]

Ok, I know most of you out there hate these types of posts, but here goes.
Would this stocking list be too much in a 45 gallon?
1 b&w clown
2 firefish gobies
1 Yellow watchman goby
[1 6 line wrasse]
[1 flame angel]
The fish in brackets are ones I don't have yet. I had always planned on adding the flame last as my "center piece" fish, but recently I've been wondering about adding another small fish before that. Any thoughts on that? Any suggestions to replace the wrasse with something else?
I prefer having a light bio-load, so if I'm pushing it I would like to err on the side of caution.
By the way, this is a reef tank with mushrooms, gsp, zoos, leather, pipe organ, torch, and xenia so far.
Thanks is advance,
Sam

IMO your tank would be fine as long as you have a good skimmer and agood amount of liverock.:yes:

same as above^ :yes:

that sounds like an awesome tank. I would suggest just going with the fish listed. the less bioload the better.

may we see a full tank shot?

 

[sammyg]

Well, I don't have that many good pictures, but here's a shot of the left half of the tank.

And just for fun, here's a shot of my newest addition, a torch. I've had it for a little over a week, and seems to be doing well. I fed it some mysis, and it's quite cool to watch it grab the hunk and suck it in!

nice tank and really pretty torch

 

[flatzboy]

Nice pictures!!

Thanks you guys. So no one thinks adding a 6 line and a flame is too much?
And no one has a really cool small fish idea to replace the 6 line?

How about a cute little clown goby or a pair of gold neon gobies?

you should look at some other wrasses. they have a lot of small and very beautiful wrasses at many different online lfs.
