Can I add more fish?

[lonewonderer]

Hello everyone. I would like to ask for your honest opinion. I have a 40 gallon FOWLR tank with a 10 gallon refugium sump and an aquaclear 110 for filtration. I was thinking to add a butterfly, a foxface or some other fishes on it. I have the list of my stocking below. Do you have any recommendation what to add. Looking for a peaceful fishes. any suggestions?

40 pounds LR

1 small yellow tang

2 blue damsel

1 tomato clown

1 cleaner shrimp

4 snails

10 red hermit crabs

10 gallon DIY sump refugium with chaetomorpha, chemi pure blue, purigen, 2" sand bed and filter sock.

You have too many fish as is. I would take out the yellow tang and get a Kole eye or tomini tange, though.

Both those fish depending on the one you choose need 70g to 125g. 

 

Your tank is too small for a tang, foxface, or butterfly

Seriously, though. Tomini tang is active and stays small. The yellow tang has a huge bioload and get s really big. The tomini will stay somewhat small, have a lower bioload, and will be just as active.
