i currently have a skunk cleaner a cbs a clownfish and a frogsprawn coral in my 75 gal reef left over since my filter returned popped off the pvc and drained my whole tank in my living room a couple months ago...tomorrow i plan on ordering a yellow tang lawnmower blennie and six line wrasse from live aquaria and i should get them by tuesday i no eventually the tang will outgrow but will it be ok to introduce all 3 at once? i have never introduced more then one fish at once so just wondering if it will mess with my parameters
 
its hard to picture it with no pictures and with the tang and blenny it may get crowded marine fish like lots of space.
 
this is the tank the first day i got it about a yr ago id say

It should be fine but after you drip acclimate for an hour or two I would do a check on water level and then add new saltwater from what was taken out. Then check salinity and ph and adjust accordingly.

P.S. nice tank
 
cool i figure im ordering them all small when they get bigger ill have an excuse to upgrade to a bigger tank...i jus gotta say to the wifey "but theyll die if i dont get a bigger tank" haha
 
dont play that card so soon, wait till the tang gets bigger, this way you'll be able to get a bigger bigger tank lol, like 220 or so. Id say your stocking is plenty fine and as long as you have as much rock as you did from day one, you shouldnt have any troubles at all. As mentioned before drip acclimate for about 2 hours, especially the tang. you might even consider getting another skunk cleaner. Thats a large sized tank and my 3 cleaners in a 120 do a very good job of going around the tank and cleaning up left over food and keeping my fish nice and parasite clean.
