Much depends on what type of corals you plan on keeping. SPS corals require clean water, most softies are fine or even prefer less than pristine water conditions. 5 medium to large fish would be a rough guess, but need a lot more information to dial it in closer. Filtration, refugium, water change schedule, and skimmer will all have effects on what you can keep.
