opinions on stocking
Hello,
I have a 75g with a 20g sump that I'm looking for opinions on as far as stocking. I have currently: 1 Foxface 1 True perc clown 1 Oscellaris clown 1 Blue green chromis 1 Matted filefish (recent addition) I'm thinking about adding a flame angel in a couple months or so, and possibly a Pakistani butterfly later as well. What do you guys think, would that be overstocking?

Yes, the Foxface would be your problem very soon.
They grow so fast!!!

The foxface is around 4-5" ATM. I don't want to stock so I have to remove any when they reach full size. I was debating doing that with a regal tang, but decided against it. The butterfly is very much up in the air, I just saw one at my lfs the other day and absolutely loved it. I would rather have a flame angel thoughI i could do without the butterfly

What kind of Foxface is it? Some get very large, and in my opinion even the smallest species would be too big for a 75 gallon tank. The One-Spot and the Bicolor are the smallest at about 7". The Lo looks a lot like a One-Spot though, but gets bigger. Do you have a reef or a FOWLR? The Pakistani Butterflyfish is a difficult fish to keep, and not recommended for novice keepers (not sure your experience).

I have a one spot. I'm comfortable with him in my 75 as everything I've read recommends 70-75g min for them. It is a reef tank as well. I don't have much for corals, some Kenya trees, xenia, branching hammer, fuzzy mushroom, palus, zoas, candy cane, and trying some favites, blasto, and chalice frags . My PC fixture is a limiting factor
Back to he original question though, a flame angel and possibly another fish down the road, will it be too much?
