Am i maxed out?

I just recently started an brackish tank. It is a standard 90 gallon. I have a little over 1000gph of filtration running on it. so far it has
-1 Archer Fish
-3 Figure Eight Puffers

iv been told the puffers get anywhere from 3-7", which is it? and am i at my limit for fish? or could i add another archer or something.

You could try some knight gobies & dragon gobies in there w/o taxing the bioload much.

Dragons require specialized feeding.

how big do knight gobies get?

 

[Pufferpunk]

3-4".

 

[Demon_fish]

cool, and fig8 puffers don't get 7" do they?

 

[Pufferpunk]

No, they grow to 3"--you're thinking of the Ceylon puffer (Tetraodon fluviatilis), a similar-looking fish.

nah i was thinking of the right one. but i was gonna get more puffers than i did, and just to be sure i asked the guy working there how big they got, and he said 7", i thought he was wrong but i wanted to be sure

He may be thinking of the Ceylon then. Looks a lot like a big F8.

actually it is possible for figure eights to get up to 7 but that rarely happens.

You are confusing the T biocellatus (3"), with the T fluviatilis (8").
