Standard 6ft 210gal dt

Call it a total water volume of about 250 gal including sump volume.

Fish:

Dussumieri 6"
Yellow foxface 6"
Powder blue 5"
Desjardini 5"
Blonde naso 5"
Clown tang 5"
Hippo 4"
Kole 3"
Three yellow tangs 3" each
Red coris wrasse 7"
Melanarus 6"
Flame angel 3"
Two Perculas 2.5" each
Matted filefish 2.5"
Longnosed hawk 3.5"
Watchman goby 3"
Emperor angel 3.5"
Starry blenny 4"

So 21 fish (unless I forgot some) total.

What bioload level would you say I'm at?

Low
Low-Medium
Medium
Medium-high
High
Very High


I know I'm going to be in the very high category when some of these tangs get bigger, but where would you place me now?
 
seems fine to me.

my stock includes the following and currently have several idol skimmer days. Also do not have any detectable nitrates.

6" yellow tang
5" kole tang
3" hippo
7" foxface
5" sailfin
4" malenarus
3" maroon clown
2x 2" damselfish
2" yellow watchman
3" flame angel
 
Most reefers...it would be high or very high.

to me...low-med.

but my philosophy is if you have enough filtration and no one is fighting keep adding fish till they bump into each other.
