How many fish in a 30 gal.

Currently I have 6 fish in my 30 gal,wanted some input on what I should do because I know 6 is more than pushing it.

Currently I have
3 chromis .75"
1 1.5" Melanerus wrasse (yes I am aware that it will outgrow the tank)
1 1.5" bicolor blenny
1 1" orange spot goby with pistol shrimp pair


My love rock is not that mature only about 8 months old (started dry brs reef saver)

I have an oversized skimmer on the tank (reef octopus 110 space saver)
I do weekly water changes, may start doing bi weekly because my sps are growing and I don't want to start dosing yet)

My phosphates and nites have been Very low to undetectable,my skimmer hasn't been pushing out much gunk,so I added the wrasse last week and the blenny yesterday.and as far as the skimmer not pushing gunk out,it used to but as I started to feed pellets every 2 days it's been pulling nothing out,just light yellowish/tank stuff.

Do you guys think I should get rid of the chromis and be fine or should I get rid of any of the other fish? I would like to keep the shrimp goby pair and the wrasse but the chromis and blenny can go if it can make my tank better.
 
I also wanted to add that I did place an order for 2 im minimax reactors one for carbon the other for gfo.should be coming in Wednesday.

I also do 30%-40% water changes weekly
