I doubt that they are on this site though.

in your sump, are you planning macro algaes? are you planning mangroves? are you planning a skimmer? Biopellets?

It's not bioload that Neil is concerned about, it is the living space, and movement of the fish.

The yasha whould be ok, the mandarin would be tough (unless you have one eating frozen or pellets like mine), chromis are schooling fish (therefore requiring lotsa space to swim around), the pygmy ange would be kinda ok (if it is a cherub).

The fish will fight in a comfined space, or at least stress the hell out of each other.

just a few suggestions.
