Default Is my tank big enough?

I curently have...
1 yellow tang
1 yellow watchman goby
1 psychodelic fish

My tank is a 60gal with about 100lbs of live rock in it.

I was wondering if I could put a foxface in it?

Could I also put a maroon clown?

Did you know that your yellow tang will grow to 8" in length? IMO, it will need a much larger tank at some point in the future if you wish to keep it.

Don't know about adding a foxface. I believe it also grows to a fairly large size.

While I've never seen a 8" yellow tang, I'd say you're at your limit now, for big fish anyway. You also have a lot of rock, so that reduces swimming area. Maroon clowns can be very aggresive, so you may want to concider that before thinking of adding one to your tank. And they get big.

That is what I thought, thanks for the replies. I might have exaggerated on how much rock I have, it might be 80-100lbs.

I wish I had a bigger tank. Take a look at my tank in the picture forum. I have posted some pics.

Maybe in a couple of years when I get a bigger house. Right now I guess I'll have to settle with what I have.

Nope way to small, I had a small tang and a foxface in my 94 and I won't do it again as they were constantly at each other.
