How many fish can I have if I overskim???

[wolmutt]

I have a 90 gallon oceanic rr tank with a 35 gallon fuge below. I will be running a PS8 on the tank and am wondering how many fish I can have using an over rated skimmer. Also, I do at least a 10% water change every Sunday. Following is a list of the fish I have, is it too many? Has anyone every overstocked like this and not had problems? Can I have them for now and as the fish grow larger take a couple out?

Pajama Cardinal 1"
Bangai Cardinal 2"
4 Ocellaris each 2"
1 basslet 3"
1 Dottyback 3"
1 blue hippo tang 2"
1 Rabbitfish 5"

i will highly suggest you take one pair of ocellaris.

With that small of a tank the 2 pairs of clowns will start to fight. Like Li said, take one pair out.

That hippo tang will grow quite large over time, and what kind of rabbitfish is it?

2 clowns should go, other than that it is doable, but tight. Certianly a larger tank and the tang and rabbit will display seemingly healthier habbits.

You can move the fish out as they get bigger or you can choose fish that can live their whole life in the space provided. Of course you have a rabbit fish and a tang, I wouldn't do the first method on an animal you can't guarantee some one/orginization will want.
