Pushing my limit on fish...

I recently broke down my 210g tank and decresed to a 95g 4ft tank. The following fish are in the tank

3" Vlamingi (will have to get rid of him if I don't upgrade in a year or two)

4" Magnificent Foxface
1.5" GS Marron Clown
2" Fireclown

Soon to be 4-5" Sargassum Trigger.

I know people will suggest the trigger/tank/and foxface are more than enough for this tank, but do anyone think I am ok and can possibly add another small fish or two?

Tank specs,
200lbs LR,
Barebottom, tons of flow
ASM G3 skimmer
Fuge w/ Chaeto
 
At the moment, yes. As you said, you may want to remove some fish later or or get a larger tank. However, you may want to add the trigger last, as it will likely be the most aggressive of the group. You may also want to consider the fact that as the clowns grow larger and more territorial, they may not get along, though your large tank definitely helps.
 
The fireclown is not exactly the nicest fish...he may have to go eventually. I had an extremly hard time finding info on him before I made the purchase. As of now, he only picks on the GS maroon but they generally keep to their respective ends of the tank.

I know people always say "I'm going to upgrade the in blah blah blah time period so it's ok to get these fish that get huge"

I don't want to be one of these people. I know I'll have to upgrade or get rid of the Vlamingi, I did have a tank that was decently suited for him but had to get rid of it.

I"m having a hard time finding out info on the tank requirements and sizes for the foxface and the sargassum trigger.

I know a larger tang, large foxface and messy trigger eating constantly will put a rather larger bioload on my tank but I think my good amount of LR, barebottom tank with a lot of flow, and relatively large sized skimmer w/ fuge will help out a bit.

a really small fish.

Is adding the sargassum a bad idea at this point... the fish i super cool but...maybe a couple smaller fish in his place would be better suited to the tank?
