Stocking 90 Gallon FOWLR

[mbrady]

I presently have 7 fish in my 90 gallon FOWLR that has been up and running for just over two years.

1 yellow Tang
1 Hippo Tag
1 Gold Striped Marron Clown
1 Marine Beta
1 Flame Angle
1 Twin Spotted wrase
1 Long Nosed Hawk

I want to add two to three more fish.
a.) Dwarf lion
b.) Emperor Angel
c.) Paddle fin Wrase
d.) Raccon Butterfly

I kind of have my heart set on the Emperor angel. I know it will out grow my tank but I will face that issue when it happens.

At 10 fish is my tank over stocked?

Will I capability issues with this group of fish?

Thank you in advance for your advice

I believe you are already overstocked bio-load wise and once these fish mature - territory wise. IME emporers like plenty of space and excellent water quality even as juveniles.

I think if your skimming heavy, You should be ok in a 90. Tha angel prob. isnt the one for me.... 2 cents

IMO you already have to many large fish.

If your tank has been running for over two years and smoothly, I wouldnt mess with it by adding more to the bioload and upsetting your balance. Maybe look into upgrading then add more fish.

I know things are going all right now, but the fish are growing and a good sized hippo really doesn't belong in a 4 foot tank. I think if you sell the hippo you'll be OK space wise, but I wouldn't really add anything. If you upgrade though, that opens up your options.

Thank You all for your response.

Some History

The tank has had it problems over the last 24 months and this past Nov. I took the Hippo, Beta, Clown and yellow tang out and let the tank sit for 10 weeks without fish. (ick mainly)

All fish were treated and placed back in the tank on Feb 08. All fish seem to be curred so on April 15th I then added the twin spotted wrase, flame angle and the long nose hog

All seems to be doing fine.

I take it from the responses I should not push my luck and any more fish
