My 75 sprung a leak last week so i made a quick trip to the lfs (2 hours to a petco) and they didn’t have any 75s. Thankfully however they did have 60 breeders which have the same footprint. Honestly, i prefer the shallower tank. Dimensions are 48x19x16.5.
Thinking positively i was able to ypdate the aquascape to allow for many more hiding spots and i have noticed that all fish seem much happier.
Stock is as follows:
1 4” H Marginatus/dusky wrasse
1 3” longnose hawk
1 2.5” coral beauty
1 tomini tang that had been in qt when the 75 began leaking.
ive got a skimmer that is rated for 150 and a decent sized refugium.

I had hoped to add a pair of jawfish and another smaller wrasse or two to the tank. If i were to do so i would have a 8 fish total in the tank. As of now ive got 4. None of these fish would i call small which is my largest worry.
Any thoughts? Pics to show aquascape.

I don't think this is the worst overstocking I've seen by far...

I'd say you're probably OK, maybe have some future plans for a 120 or something?
Ive been thinking of a custom 40x30x16 or something similar.
