Hey everyone.
im curious to see what kind of bioload people have in there sps tanks. right now i have a 120 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump and i have 2 anthias, 2 false percula clowns, 1 sailfin tang, 1 hippo tang, and 1 sixline wrasse.(8 fish tottal)
id like to add a few more fish but do not want to compromise the coloration and health of my corals.
For those who feel they have a healthy, colorful corals and fish, how many fish do you have, what kind, and what size is your tank?
if you would like to show pics, go ahead. i would just like to see and hear how other people are loading up there sps tanks with fish.

. I have had a mixed LPS/SPS tank for the past couple of years so I have been feeding the LPS and fish pretty heavily. Now that I am moving the LPS to their own system (I may leave a few in the sps tank and I will have some SPS in the LPS tank) I will probably feed a bit less but not much. When params are stable and all is well my sps colors are great. I do run Zeovit which helps to maintain my phosphates around .01-.04 on any given week. I don't really have plans o geting anymore fish for the SPS tank at this time. My foxface is a bit of a pest, he likes to herd everyone else into the rocks and have the tank to himself, lol. The clowns and the angles don't really listen to him and the mandarin and watchman goby are rock dwellers anyways. The reason I moved the other fish is because he harassed it so much ot keep it in the rocks.

I am not really afraid of nutrients in my tank and my corals under 10K bulbs look great, have good color and grow very well. I don't run 400 watt bulbs, just two 150's and one 250. I don't freak out if there is a patch or two of hair algae, when it gets big enough to tear off the rock I do so and use it to export nutrients. I never spot feed anything other than the two S.Tapetum anemone's who get a pc of krill every few weeks or so. I feed the tank home made fish goo from the seafood market highly pulverized and blended with larger chunks for the larger mouths that need to be fed.
