My FOWLR is about 10 months old and houses
one 7in sailfin tank
one 4in heniochus
one 3in flame angel
one 4" bicolor angel
one 3" wrasse
two 1.5in lemon damsels
two 1.5in true percula clowns
All of them are very healthy and active. The Euroreef skimmer keeps the water in good condition.
I am thinking of getting some new fish. Would like to hear your opinions on whether the tank is overstocked already? If not, what should I get. I have a small clean-up crews and a starfish.

what size tank and what sort of wrasse. wrasse grow to be all different sizes some of them like the cleaner wrasse stay fairly small, but others like the dragon wrasse can grow to be rather large.
you need to think not of how big the fish are now, but how big they will grow to be at max size and work out your tank load from that, because you can't expect that your fish will stay at the size that you bought them.

Ooops, forgot to mention the tank is 125 gal (a 6 footer)
The wrasse is a fairy

You're maxed out now IMO. 27" of fish in a 125 is 1" of fish per 4.6 gn., & they're not done growing. I'm also wondering if they will all get along as they grow larger. But, you have a better chance that they will if they started out small, together. I would say if things are going well, leave it alone. Which is the hardest thing to do to an aquarium!
