Finally after months of waiting i have got 2 blue damsels and are doing well(yipee) . What i want to know is i have a 180 litre jewel rio with 20 kilos of liverock in . this is my fish list that i want to stock 2 blue damsels (already got) 2 clown fish,a yellow tang , a fire fish , a scooter blenny . Is this ok or am i overstocking the tank please could you advise me on the above thanks
 
Couple of comments:
-firstly I think your tank is borderline size for a yellow tang, so you might want to check this further,
-secondly the scooter blenny is actually a dragonette, and normally will only eat small 'pods which grow on the live rock. I dont think that your amount of live rock is anywhere near enough to suistaine the nessassary population of pods for the scooter blenny to feed on, so unless you can get one that is eating prepared food it would stave- I would go for something easier to feed.

What sort of filtration have you got as this will determine your possible stocking?
Good luck with the tank.
