Final stocking

[CAPSLOCK]

I've been looking around the internet, and found out that saltwaterfish.com has free shipping when you order enough, and low prices to boot.

I was thinking, in addition to the stuff in my signature, of adding the following (tank is a well established 45g tall, with live rock and live sand):
1 percula clown
2 neon gobies
10 dwarf hermits
5 or 10 snails depending on type (probably 5 nassarius snails)
1 camelback or peppermint shrimp (or one of each)

and either (so I'm spending enough for free shipping):
1 more percula clown (so there's a pair), or
1 goby of some sort: tiger goby, yellow watchman, or blue speckled sleeper goby
Would a third neon goby be okay also?

Are there any problems with these additions that anyone can see? Serious overstocking, compatibility issues, etc. I know that the neon gobies will get along with a bottomdwelling goby like those and with the fire goby that I've already got, and I think the fire goby should get along with a bottomdwelling goby.

way too many fish in a 45, your going to regret it and end up having a daily battle with algae and all sorts of other stuff, along with massive water changes. I would add at most 2 more fish to you set up...just my opinion but I know I like life to be easy, and I think yours will be if you dont overstock. to get free shipping maybe order some corals?

I don't have enough light for algae, let alone corals. I count the 2 neon gobies as one fish, they were in my original plan. Them and the clownfish are pretty definite. I'm $20 short without the extra fish... I think that I'd actually do better just getting stuff from a store around here then. No point in overstocking or buying extra stuff just to save shipping, if I can get what I want and not spend any/much more than what I'd spend on the extra stuff I don't really need/want.

Thanks.

its not the other stuff which would cause the overstocking, it is the fish. that 45 is pretty darn full as it is; i would add nothing more than either the 2 gobies or the 2 clowns, not both

I agree with camaro, unless you want a high maintenance horror show

I meant a single clownfish, not the two. A single clown and 2 gobies shouldn't be too much-2 gobies can't possibly create as much waste as a second clown.

I can see that, but you said you wanted to add the clown + 2 gobies + maybe somthing else. So everyone is saying either no something else OR just 2 clowns , no gobies. But not all

aslo fyi the prices on that site arent that cheap, maybe thats why the shipping is free

Yeah, I can see that I worded that funny in the second post, and I was considering it in the first. Just a clown and a pair of gobies should be okay, and that'll be it for my fish stocking. And the prices that I was interested in, the neon gobies and the shrimp, are the cheapest I've seen them. There is also a $10 packaging fee that they hide in there further...
