Too many fish in a 40B AIO?

Hey, I'm currently working on a tank thread for my new AIO. Because I didn't keep up with it as things progressed, its gonna be a huge post, but for now I'm interested in what fish I have in it. The tank has the equivalent dimensions of a 34gallon (4.5 inches are partitioned off the back, making it an AIO). Current stocking is a small pair of occelaris clowns, a six line wrasse, a yellow tail damsel, and a bicolour blenny. All are small (less than 3") and most are quite active and interesting. I have a fairly open concept design though, so there seems to always be a lot of empty water space. I'm slowly working on filling the extra rocks with coral (theres more rock than I had in my previous smaller tank), which should help, but I'm just interested to know opinions on my stock, and what else I could add to give more motion and colour, or what could maybe be replaced if I'm already pretty fully stocked. Here's a sneak peak at the new tank.

theres actually more rock in the tank now (an extra piece was added) but this will give you an idea of how it looks

and here's a sneak peek at the custom stand I built as well (can't resist showing it off)

It's all a matter of how many water changes you're willing to do within any given time frame. If the system/ waterchages are keeping up with nitrate production you could keep adding fish.

 

Otherwise you could always get yourself some nice flowing soft corals. :)

Looks good. I wouldn't be concerned with open water space much with those fish, if anything maybe add more rock.. The wrasse and the blenny do best with lots of rock.

 

I like your stand a lot, any pics of the back of your tank?

There will be a full post about the design and build of the tank and stand in a little bit when I find time. I'll post a link here for you when I do it.

 

Regarding open space, I just mean it feels empty, because of the way I have the rocks though, I don't really have much space for more rock without just doing a dull rock wall.
