Would I be over stocked if I had the following fish in the setup listed in my signature?
1 Six Line Wrasse
5 Green Chromis
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Diamond Goby
1 Scooter Blenny

Most likely overstocking it...

Thanks for the replys!
Baron, I currently only have 1 six line in the tank and If I look real close to the glass I can see these small white things that I believe are copods and the six line loves to eat them. I haven't fed him anything since I bought him this past monday, he stays full of these copods. If these are copods my tank is loaded with them, so I think the scooter will be fine. Also I heard that scooters will eat bloodworms, is this true or is it one of those things that just depends on the fish?

Ok, I added the wrasse last monday and I am planning on ordering the U-Build It package to come in next week since I'll be out of school. My LFS should have some Green Chromis in Wednesday. Is it ok to put the 5 chromis in then? Should I wait a few days to get the fish or could I go get them on Wed. or Thur.? After all that should I add the clowns or the goby and blenny?

The ammount of fish you can have in a tank can depend on a few things, the size of the fish, the aggressiveness(sp?), and live rock and live sand. I think the more biological filtration you have the more your bio load can hold. You are going to get different opinions on how many fish you can have in a tank. I'm no expert, but I think this is right.
