How many fishies in your tank and what's your total volume?

[ouling]

Fish need room to swim and hide/sleep. That is the only thing I got against putting too much fish in a tank.

Everything else can be taken care of with a good skimmer, myraid nutrients removal methods, water changes, and good wifeatry.

Alot of fish may requires more work or better equiptment, but it does look sooooo much better.

Never stop adding fish Gin... 1ft of fish per gallon would be my max.

In my 90 gal with 20 gallon Refugium, I have 7 chromis, royal gramma, flame angel, yellow tang, Yellow watchman, Diamond goby, sally lightfoot, emerald crab (in return), scooter blenny, who along with YW is my favorite. He scoots and glides all over the place. Lots of food swimming around with the refugium pumping it out the small critters. Looking to add a pair showcase onyx clown from Robs Reef shortly and I am done for a while.

i have seen them at the petco next our houses(camrons and mine). they are not that much 20 bucks i think.

 

[xyzpdq0121]

I have 11 fish in a 55 gal 10 gal fuge and 7 gal sump. (Yellow tang, Flame angel, Royal Gramma, 2x perc clowns, 2x neon gobies, 1 green clown goby, 1 manderin, and 1 pearl jawfish) YA, I would say a bit overstocked and would not recommend it to anyone but I think if your tank is mature, you have set it up correctly, and you can ID the signs of problems you can get away with it.

Update: 135g with about 160g total volume. I am VERY stocked in quantity but most fish with the exception of the tangs are small. Most water params are spot on thanks to some heavy filtration.
