I can't see why not. That's a big tank and a small bio-load.

I would agree that you could add more assuming that you have a sufficient amount of liverock, live sand or bioballs to take care of the ammonia and nitrites.

I think you can add more fish as your 115 gallon tank is roomy enough for a dozen well-chosen fish. You may have a problem with your scopas if you add another tang.

Sounds like I've got a plan then.Im not sure if my scopas is aggressive, jumpy, or Skiddish?Hard to tell.He acts pretty neutral towards everybody, even at feeding time.Im not sure on another tang yet.Still tossing it around in the old thought box.

Trio of bangaii cardinals are most likely going to be a problem. Find a bonded pair. The third one may very likely get killed off by a pair that forms.
Otherwise it looks good.

I would certainly add more fish. Watch a trio of cardinals! One will likely be killed when a pair forms.
