I have been pondering if I am at an ok limit or can I add more fish. estimate 70~ gal water volume

Filtration:

BM Curve 5
~5gal full hob on sump - 4" sandbed + completely full of chaeto
Carbon and GFO

Started dosing NOPOX to go ULN with Reef Energy AB.

So I should be able to keep nutrients down from my fishy waste.

Current stock:

1 Yellow tang - 2.5"
1 sixline wrasse - 2.5"
1 flame angel - 2"
pair of black ice clowns - Year old. Female around 2.25" and male around 1.75"
Mixed reef but more zoas and LPS - ~10 different sticks (for now)

I would like to add about 2-4 more fish. Definitely going to add a mandarin in the future but I would need to rid my sixline wrasse first. The rest will either be a trio of anthias or mix of different fairy wrasses.

Is this doable or should I not push it. I know the yellow tang is a pig and his poop amazes my kids everytime. Sicks them out when the other fish try to eat it!

I think you will be fine adding more fish, I like anthers and think they add some activity to the tank. Fairy wrasse are a great cal too, I had a hard time keeping them out of my overflow. I had to place a rock over the screen top in that area (thanks for tip Kathyc)
So if you have a top maybe a fairy wrasse could work with the anthias trio

I have a screen top since it helps lower PAR. My corals started stressing from the lights after the change. Once I put the screen top. They looked a lot better so helps do multiple things.

Damn Rob, too many tanks. Most people can't concentrate on one.

I'll need to check them out once I figure out when I'm finally stopping by.
