Just want some imput, tank is an aga 40brd with a 10gal sump and about 35lb of rock with a foam wall.

2x Spotted mandarins, both will be eating frozen, already have the female
3x threadfin cardinals (LFS gets ORA ones all the time so no worries about shipping fatalities)
2x Yasha Hashe gobies
1x Royal Gramma
1. Geometric Pygmy HawkFish
1x Centropyge angelfish or Sunburst Anthias (I have kept sunburst before in an ap24 and it did very well until I had an ich outbreak from a temp spike, so I know their care requirements)

Just want to know if this would be too many fish, i do not have any of these except the gramma and female mandarin yet as the tank is still cyling, the fish i have already are in my SPS dominated ap24.

Do you have a good skimmer? I figure with a strong skimmer that that fish load wouldn't bee too much.

It seems most recommend a bigger tank for the Sunburst.

Yeah, runing to run a red sea berlin turbo, so overskimming the hell out of the tank. I know most reccomend a larger tank for the anthias but then one I had before just staed under a cave only coming out for food. Maybe he was just shy?

I been reading up on Anthias as I hope to keep some myself. It seems most don't like bright tanks so that could be part of the reason it stayed hidden.

No Idea, I only had the stock pc's that came with the ap24 at the time so I don't think that could be it?
