Doesn't seem too bad, depending on your filtration system...

Tell us about your skimmer, sump size, nutrient export in general...

Also: How much LR do you have?
 
About 80 lbs of live rock
Bare bottom
Reef octopus 110 classic space saver
Trigger system Sump ruby 36
Gfo and gac
 
Actually, I think you are fine. The only fish with a halfway heavy bio-load is your tang.

You have plenty of smaller fish, but as long as there is enough LR for them to have a place to hide fi they need to, you should be good...

How is your skimmer handling things? It's at the top of it's gallon rating...
 
It's Ok for now will watch nitrates and P04 what would be a nice skimmer to upgrade to without going broke lol
 
Well, if your parameters are in check, and your skimmer bucket isn't full unreasonably quick, you can stick with what you have. But, if you want to upgrade and be economical at the same time, you can always upgrade your pinwheel (the attachment on your skimmer pump that makes and disburses air bubbles to the skimmer) or upgrade the pump on the skimmer itself to one of the pumps from reef octopus's SRO line...
 
The load looks fine to me. You haven't stuck in any large fish like a hippo tang. Your biggest by far is the yellow tang. Many of your fish could go in a nano tank.

I think most skimmers are a bit optimistic on their aquarium ratings so it is good to oversize some. But it is not critical.

I would think that you should be fine given decent husbandry.
 
Despair anthias

:lol: I've had plenty of these myself!

Fish list is fine for a 110 IMO, though you may come to regret the black/white chromis. If its a three stripe damsel - meanest fish I ever had (and I've kept Sohal Tangs).
 
You're fine given reg, normal filtration.
Although GL on your 6line in the future . A-holes for sure
