Overstocked?

[Gotsoup]

I have been very understocked over the last year and decided I want some show pieces in my 220, but I am worried that it will be over stocked. I have a 30 gallon wet dry/sump and run a protein skimmer. I also have about 225 in live rock. So here is the list.

Golden Puffer 7 in
Porc. Puffer 5 in
V. Lion 6 in
Blue Face Angel 7 in
Clown Trigger 4 in
Yellow Tang 4 in
P. Blue Tang 7 in
algea blenny 5in
Flame angel 3 in
Aussie tusk 6 in
square Anthias 4 in

havent decided if it is ok as far as overstocked or if I might need to drop one from the list. One of the big fish may not be workable.

the lion and the trigger will not last together. The clown trigger could kill off the tank once get mature enough.both of those puffers get very large. i would say just one of the 2.

so choose between an eventual trigger only tang. or no trigger and 1 puffer. the rest seems ok to me

I know its not for everyone, but if I had a 220, I'd get a group of volitans and other larger bodied lions.

Maybe an eel or two and some other "filler" fish but keep it display of lions.

I would really like to keep the puffers, the trigger is small now, I am aware of the risks and will keep a very close eye. In the past while he was the smallest in the tank things were ok. actually the blue tang is the meanist thing in the tank. my fear was if I bought the golden that things might get alittle crazy int he tank.
