I have a 75g bowfront FOWLR with a juvenile sixline wrasse, juvenile yellow tang, lawnmower blenny, 2 chromis, 11 hermit crabs, and an emerald crab. I was curious to know would I be able to add anymore fish? If so how many and what kind? Thank you!
 
You could if you rehoused your tang. It really doesn't matter how big it is, it's the swimming room that counts. That fish will get large and increase the bioload easily. Get rid of him and you could easily add more fish.

your tank overtime will adjust to the bioload. That is not of a concern. I would say you could get away with having 8 or 9 fish in a 75. A pair of clownfish, maybe 2 firefish and a diamond goby.
