--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got a 75g RR with 40g sump (has a 10g fuge with rock rubble). Probably 80g total water volume. Running SRO-XP2000, GFO, Carbon. Biopellets installed but not turned on yet.

Current Stock:
2 Percs
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
1 Diamond Watchman Goby
1 Yellow Head Jawfish

Mostly a LPS/Softie tank. Probably wont grow any color sticks.

Do you think I could get couple Lyretail Anthias? I heard either get 1 male, or get 1 male with couple females. Do you think 3 is enough without overstocking the tank? I mean I wouldnt mind having 5, but that might be alot for a 75g.

I don't see that as a problem. Keep up on your water changes.

I think if you get 3 you should be fine, running a large skimmer for your tank and keep up on your water changes everything should be ok

How much live rock do toy have? because all i see is ruble in your sump. But if you have enough LR to keep up with the bio load go for it!

Got about 90lbs of rock for the tank and sump.

One would be fine. I don't think you have enough swimming room for more than one. It is not a bioload issue.
