What do you think, too much?

Right now I have a standard 120 gallon BB sps tank, 30 gallon sump, Bubble Master 200 skimmer, plenty of flow.

The fish list is:

2 lyretail anthias
1 tomini tang
1 barrier reef chromis
1 blue chromis
1 sm midas blenny
pair rhomboid wrasses
1 female bellus
1 banggai cardinal

I have the opportunity to purchase a 2" black tang, but I'm not sure if that's pushing it or not. What do you all think?

Thanks
 
looks fine. Add slowly and QT everything. Last thing you want is one fish (especially the last one) to kill everything off.
 
I think the list looks ok except the Black Tang. It would be a real shame to put such a sought after fish in a crampt environment (or any fish for that matter!)
Also, I think Bangais look kind of lonely on their own. Try and get a pair. If your LFS has them look for the two which aren't hangin' with the rest of the fish.
Also..maybe add 4 lyretails (1m 3f) and leave out the chromis jmo.

It is fairly heavy stocking. As Zemuron said - add them very slowly. Take several months until your list is complete.
 
Looks fine to me too. I have a single Banggai and 2 Lyretail Anthias in my 90 for over two years, so they should be fine. I got two female Lyretails and the one has semi changed to male.
 
Thanks for the replys everyone. I forgot to mention the tank has been up for about 6 months with most of the livestock coming from my previous tank of 2 years (I moved). The most recent additions were the lyretails about a month ago. It's an active tank, but most of the fish are pretty small, in fact the banggai may be the largest as he's about 3-4 years old.
