Rate my tank bio load

Personally, I feel bioload is dependant on your setup.

Maybe there is too many fish for the size of tank, but if you have sufficient skimming, water changes and so forth, you may be just fine.

I myself, probably have a high bioload also... But running 2 skimmers, good water changes every week. And my tank is clear. I keep fish alive, maybe not my coral though.

I would not add any more unless you are talking about very small fish.

I am thinking of upgrade my skimmer to a bigger one although all my params are good except for the stupid PH that i can't seem to get it higher, my ph is 7.7 - 8.0.

you do not mention the size of the angels and tangs, they 1-3" or 5"+?

the only fish that seems out of place to me is the sohal tang

I'd call that a full tank...

those tangs are pooh factories so Id say thats a lot of fish

I'd say you're full up. When you move to your larger thank and as all your inhabitants grow, you'll find you're pretty much maxed out.

Like you mentioned earlier a bigger/better skimmer/filtration system will help you keep everything in line from now until later.

I wouldn't add anything unless it was smaller fish, or fish that won't compete for space, food, or a home/hiding place. I'd be very wary of adding any smaller fish.
