How overstocked is my tank?

[crister13]

I have a 150g tank with 110# of LR, around a 3' sump (maybe more) caulerpa in refugium, skimmer. For livestock I have 1snowflake eel, 1 male bird wrasse, 1 blonde naso tang, 1 niger triggerfish, and 1 honeycombgrouper. how overstocked is the tank? If it is, what is the BEST thing I can do without removing fish? If I have to, I will.

the honeycomb cod will produce more waste than all your fish put together, he will put strain on fitration,do you have a decent skimmer and what is your filtration set up, how old is the tank ,do you test your water, if you have added the honey comb last it may give a ammonia spike as your bacteria population may not be capable of handling waste

As juveniles your set for a while if they are larger what are your nitrates and do you have trouble keeping alk and pH up?

larger tank, fug and skimmer

as long as the fish arent aggressive towards each other and u can keep nitrates in check then u are fine. is this a fowlr tank?

Generally speaking +1 to the above...as I have said before naso's are notorious for simply dying for no reason...especially in tanks equal to or smaller than 180g.

Yeah its FOWLR. They're not aggressive to eachother at all. If they wouldn't be aggressive, could I add a hawaiin black trigger?

No. You have too many fish already once they grow up. Many of those will need a larger tank in a couple years. I'd stop cramming fish in.
