Hello,

i just switched my Aquarium it was a 40-50 gallons its now about 90 Gallons with a sump of maybe 40 Gallons.
I have = 2 Black Clownfish
2 Pseudochromis Fridmanni http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3352+3353+3465&pcatid=3465
1 Bicolor Blenny http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+23+66&pcatid=66
2 Mandarinfish http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1635+551&pcatid=551
2 Janssi Pipefish http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+267+284&pcatid=284
both mandarin and pipefish are eating frozen food, so theres no problem of them starving and dying. 3 Fire Shrimps, 2 Cleaner Shrimps,
4-6 Squat Shrimps couldnt count all after moving, but ought to be 6, several crabs, a few smaler mudcrabs i will catch from now on and put
in my sump and several other crabs, 2 Porcelain Crabs, 2 Boxer Crabs, 1 Nardoa sp. Sea Star, 1 Banded Brittlestar, 1 Mespilia Globolus and
1 Tripneustes gratilla sea urchin, i just love all those little critter bringing life into an aquarium.

i got 20kg of live rock, my tank is 100cm length x 70 cm width and 50 cm height with 4 t5 as lightning, 3 tunze 6015 and one
tunze doc skimmer 9004 which i think i will have to increase, but i just wanna watch how he skims for now, maybe i dont need to increase it.
i plan to put alot of live rock into my sump, doing it slowly like 2kg max per week because of the die off from the rocks.

I plan to add more fish or is my tank at the maximum and i should stop thinking about adding more? Id love to have one or a pair of
bigger fish that are more visible like a coralbeauty angelfish or something similar, maybe some with less water requirement a smaller type of
angelfish /doctorfish maybe 1-2 different species if its possible http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=747+871+438&pcatid=438 and a pair of
sand-sifting gobies like diamond watchman goby to keep the sand clean http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=747+871+220&pcatid=220 or is there a
smaller alternative that sifts sand toroughly and maybe a matted filefish my buddy got one and i just like the looks of them http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+30+2562&pcatid=2562
i know a long text but thanks for helping.
here are a few pics of the curent tank. http://imgur.com/a/eI8Hb i know bad mobile quality, but thought to give an impression of my tank. im asking about the stand / looking of my tanks
id appreciate any help and honest opinion.
 
Those are pretty small fish you have, you can easily do a few more. You might also want to think about adding more live rock in there looks like you can fit some more :)

thats good to hear i have no idea about stocking etc. the limit so i went slowly with the fish i really like not adding too many
i thought about adding more rocks but then i cant see my backwall anymore so i refrain from adding more, but i am getting alot more rocks for my sump.
