a few questions on my 15 gallon reef... Need advice

Hi, I am 14 years old and have been keeping fish for 11 years. I have a 15 gal. reef aquarium I have had running for 5 months (since my b-day). Since then, the setup has included 10-12 lbs of live sand,5 -6 lbs of live rock, a kenya tree coral, mushroom polyps, and both types of Xenia. I recently added a lawnmower blenny for algae control, and yesterday added a sixline wrasse. is the bio filtration adequate? Can I add more fish? If so, what?

P.S I have a penguin 125 bio wheel, a skilter 250, and 126 gph powerhead. also what else can I feed my fish?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats your water change schedule like? I have a 10gal stocked heavily with coral, 2 fish (Royal gramma and a fourline wrasse) and a shrimp, i do a water change every week, or once every 2 weeks.

Just from my experience, i'd say you can add 1 more small fish. Others might disagree but seeing as how the blenny should stay near the bottom and the rocks, something smaller for the upper regions might be fine. Something like a small clown would work. Depending on agression, Royal Grammas can work. Just something small like that.

Of course adding another fish depends on the upkeep of your tank.

I feed mine new life spectrum pellet food and thats it.

I change the water every week or so, usually every week and a half
