Stocking Smaller, To make Tank look bigger?

Reef264

Where's The Reef?
I have heard of this, does it actually make it look better, as far as space is concerned?I like bigger fish, like Tang's, or foxfaces, but I don't know if I want the bio-load of multiple tangs, maybe 1.I was thinking of stocking my 115 gallon reef soon.It already has corals, but I am wanting some fish.Here is what I was thinking...

A trio of Blue Reef Chromis
2 yellowhead Jawfish
Yellow watchman Goby
Clown Goby
Randall's Goby w/pistol shrimp
1 Kole Tang (maybe)
Pair of Picasso Clownfish

Would the bioload be too much?I want a tank that I don't have to change the water for any other reason than replacing elements for my Corals.Not changing water because I have Hair Algae, Cyano, other nightmares...

I have an oversized Skimmer
Refugium that is overflowing with Cheato, Caulerpa, Sea Lettuce, and some other macro's I'm not too familiar with.

I can eliminate any of the bench line up if needed.
 
I dont know about the bio load but I will say that the smaller the fish the easier it will be to maintain the water. I have a smaller tank. (55 gallon soon to be upgraded to a 65 tall) and I have 6 fish currently and over feed constantly. The water stays pretty well maintained with 5 gallon water change about once a week.

The fish I have are

2 Golden Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse
2 Gold Assessors
2 ORA Mandarins (one green spotted and one blue)

I feed like 3 or 4 times a day and am currently setting up an auto feeder which is planned to be put into place once my upgrade takes place. Right now its a FWLRO tank because it will be moved and the nitrates stick around 10-15 but once I put them in the 65 gallon I will be using Prodibio or Zeovit to help maintain the water.
