Stocking/Bioload Question

I have a 90 gallon tank (43"x42"x12") with a 20 gallon sump. I want to know if the following fish would be okay to stock:

10 blue-green chromis
1 yellow tang
1 false percula clownfish

Is this too many fish in terms of bioload?

I think you would be ok. Blue/green chromis have been known to fight amongst themselves until there's are only a few left though. You might want to rethink the number on those. Maybe a royal gramma, a chalk bass, banggai cardinals, etc. Something along those lines to fill the void.

That is a possibility. I guess I am more concerned with the amount of fish and the respective bioload. I can always interchange the listed fishes with comparable sized fish, not absolutuely committed to the above list at this time.
