In my 1 year and 2 month old 280 gallon tank i currently have
Lawnmower blenny 4 inches
2 Ocellaris Clownfish 2-3inches
3 Female Lyretail and 1 Male Lyretail Anthias 2.5-3.5inches
Green Mandarin 2 inches
Imperator Angelfish 4.5-5.5inches
Morish Idol 4-5inches
Blue Tang 6 inches
Powder Blue Tang 2.5inches
Yellow Tang 3-4 inches
Purple Tang 2 inches

Was wondering how you guys felt on my stocking and if some more fish are ok to add. Small fish i wouldn't mind adding some fairy wrasses and some type of goby but wondering if im maxing out on my big fish.
Some fish im am looking at are
Longnose butterfly
Regal Angelfish
Gold Rim or Achilles Tang
I know 4 tangs is pushing it already but i have means to remove one or more if need be. Any thoughts or other fish choices?
 
Asm g4x recric looking into upgrading this year when the funds come avaiable. Thought the skimmer is good enough but there always better options out there. Since i plan to upgrade tanks by next year or so a bigger skimmer will be in need anyway.
 
I think that is fine for a FO tank, but when you start stocking corals it might be alittle tough with another tang. Wrasses are one of my favorite fishes. I can't say anything though because I have a fish tank with corals, not a coral tank with no fish :)
 
Yeah i haven't add corals yet mainly i just haven't got the coral disease and more into my fish. But eventually i will but by the time my fish get really big and i have lot of corals a new tank will be getting in place around the 500-600 range.
 
Im thinking going with the regal angelfish pair of gobies and longnose butterfly... then in a few weeks achilles tang and a wrasse or three and then that be it. To much? Also thought instead a wrasse i could add two more lyretail females or would that be to risky with the group i already have established?
