Is my aquarium over loaded?

My equipment:
Solana 34
A150 kessil light
25 lbs live rock

I found an abandoned saltwater tank in a building (I'm a commercial real estate agent and people leave weird stuff behind). No lights, half full of water and algea filled. I was shocked to find fish living in it.

I brought them home to give them a chance and they are now going strong in my tank that had just cycled and only had hermits and snails in it before.

The fish:
Blue Trigger 4 inches
SixLine Wrasse 2.5-3 inches
Clownfish 3 inches
and a Butterfly of some kind? 4 inches

Is my 34 gallon way to small for these guys?

Definitely a little cramped. The "butterfly" is a scopas tang. If you at least re-homed the trigger. The other would probably be fine for quite some time. Most will tell you to re-home the scopus too soon once it gets a little bigger.

Good job on the rescue and home they do well.

The tank is cramped for the scopes tang and trigger. That being said good job of coming to the rescue of these fish. Its amazing that someone would leave these creatures behind. I'm sure you will be able to find good homes for them

If anyone is interested in any of the four please PM me. Im interested in small beginner corals, shrimps or baby clowns so if you have anything to trade that would be awesome.

I'm helping michael "jetsetter57" setup a 150g. That niger trigger would benefit nicely with the added swimming room
