How many fish?

[thirty5]

I have a 180 bow (soon to be full reef). How many fish can i put in the tank. I am going to fill with corals and attempt to be very diverse in my selection trying to get a little bit of everything (within reason). But how many fish can i have? I know that it actually goes by inches. The biggest fish that i will prob have will be a Blonde Naso eventually. I will also want a couple mandarins. I have a Hippo Tang, Tomato Clown, blenny, royal garamma. But i want some more. I know that i cant add them all at once. But in teh long run how many can i have??

Thanks for your input!

it depends on what fish. usually people go by a couple gallons per inch of fish. you really have to eye it. see how much space for swimming there is. just go slowly so you will know when your fish will feel uncomfortable with more roomates.
