So I've been tossing the idea around about adding another fish. I'm pretty sure I'm at or over capacity though especially with the 3 tangs. But figured I'd get some opinions anyway. Tank is 90gal.
Current stock:
2x occelaris clowns
2x bangaii's
Melanarus wrasse
6-line wrasse
Blue spot watchman
Hippo tang
Yellow tang
Kole tang
All tangs are in the 3-3.5" range

So what does everyone think. I'm leaning towards another wrasse if I do get one. Suggestions welcome
Thanks in advance

I have 27 fish in my 180. I dont see a problem putting another wrasse in the mix. Have you ever seen smcoolers tank? He has the most fish I have ever seen and they are almost all huge.

It's been a while since Ive been to Stan's and all I remember is the corals. Yours too for that matter. I didn't think you had that many fish. What wrasse would you recommend?

My favorites are the fairy wrasses also. Flame, Rhomboid, Lineatus etc. The only problem is they get pretty big. My lineatus is like 5". One of my favorites is the Laboutei, they have a cool personality and I think they dont get real big. Exquisite's are nice too.

I would probably play it safe and avoid adding another fish, unless you have a very secure backup power plan- during the storm, a lot of people with overstocked tanks that were otherwise healthy had oxygenation issues, and some of them lost fish.
Just my 2 cents.

Luckily I'm covered there. My employer(us government) likes to waste money and we have 500 generators stockpiled for future storms. All I need to do is ask. NICE.

Well I ended up at my cousins place in Brooklyn today and was very much looking forward to hitting Diamonds of the Reef. I was only a few blocks away. Walked there only to find the gates down and no answer on the phone. Then I found the hours, I was there 2hrs early. Sadly I was unable to get back later.
