28 Bowfront Stocking

[FishMaster1000]

Whats up guys. I have a 28 bow reef with a pair of ocellaris, and a Bangaii Cardinal. Do you think I could add anything else? I am pretty religious with water changeds averaging every week to the rare two week change. My levels are fine! Except my trates are at about 5-10 because I was away for 10 days recently, so I am in the process of getting them back to 0. Would it be to much to add something like a gramma or another basslet? Should I stick with something really small like a clown goby? Suggestions please!

How about a Bicolor Blenny? Beautiful fish with tons of personality.

That was into consideration, but before settling on a fish to add, you think the tank will be fine with a bioload that size?

I've seen tanks of 24gal house up to 7 fish *cringe*

My tank (a 25gal) currently has:
- 1 x occelaris clown (juvi 1.5inch)
- 1 x bi-color blenny
- 1 x six line wrasse (juvi 1inch)
- 1 x lemonpeel angel (juvi 1.5inch)
- 2 x peppermint shrimp

Parametres are stable. Although as the angel starts to outgrow my tank he is getting moved into a 50gal. My tank has a water change weekly (occasionally bi-weekly) same as you actually. Water changes around 6 - 8 gallons. About 1/4 to 1/3 of the tank volume.

Hope that helps.

Yes you could add the bicolor blenny. I would say you could push 5 fish into a 28 gallon.

Really? Well we will see what happends when I add the next small fish, then depending on my parameters I'll go from their!
