Default Choosing a fish or too many?

Six foot tank, 150 gallon tank with a 75 gallon display refugiumto help filtration and grow my own macroalgae. Reef tank 6'x24"x21"tall octopus skimmer rated for 300 g tank. So i want to add another fish. But do i have too much already;






As you can see i purposely made sure i didn't pack my tank with corals so i keep lots of swimming room for my fish, and i don't intend to have a huge collection of corals either i want minimum headakes with feeding and dosing, i want this hobby to be relaxing for me and the fish lol. Most corals will be softies and LPS. i already have a bit of Ulva growing in the reef thats cool for my tang, thats the fish i was hopping to add as well.


The refugium



I have presently;

1 Yellow Tang
1 Magnificent Foxface
6 chromis
1 blenny
1 manderin
2 picasso clowns

Now i was thinking another tang maybe , a hardy one, no blue or hyppo, lol. Maybe a Kole tang , not too big, any other suggestions.

Personally I think you could easily add another fish. But thats just me. You may have issues introducing another tang in with your yellow tang, but maybe not. Some are pretty aggressive.

Well tonight some friends came over we've put a mirror in it calm things down and the convic seems to face the yellow tang more. They think he'll be ok in a few days. In any case if too much stress is going on one of the guys want him so i'm good with it i'll keep the other two wrasses and he'll be in a 180 g

I LOVE YOUR AQUASCAPE!!! Do you have any pics of the tank straight from the front? I love those huge pieces of branching Tonga rock on the right half of the tank. I love the tufts of macroalgae growing on them too. Super cool look.

Edit: I found your build thread.
