New setup

[jbt24]

I was just wondering how much livestock will i be able to put in my 40 gallon corner. I plan on doing corals and fish. Just kind of curious how many i can add without over loading it.

That's a good question. I'd kinda like to know myself, but if I had to just shoot in the dark, I'd guess 10-12 smallish fish max. Most everything else (corals, inverts, etc) will have such a small impact on your system, you probably don't have to worry about them too much. You can do larger amounts without overloading depending on your equipment, though. I think if you skim heavily and have plenty of water movement/co2 exchange, you can do more.

Any "rule of thumbs" out there?

I think the type of skimmer,how much liverock etc.,all kind of factor into the equasion also.
