I have a 30 gallon long (36 x 12 x 16). I upgraded from a 20 gallon. I have a pearl gourami, 8 black skirt tetras, 7 espei rasboras, and a refugee white cloud. I moved my gravel and decorations and my filter from my 20 gallon so I hope to not have any cycle. I also added a aquaclear 50. I Hope to removed my old filter once the aquaclear gets seeded.

Aquarium adviser puts my stocking level at 57% but I feel like my stockinglevel is higher than that. I would like any opinions on how I am stocked. Can I add anything? Do I have too much? Thank you
 
I'd add a group of Cory cats (5-6 of the same species) and some more espei rasboras. They're small schooling fish, and would be happier in a larger group.

i agree with this. your middle/top swimming area already has 2 schools so i would increase them a little and add some bottom dwellers
