Stocking Level Question on 55 Gallon

[drwonga]

Hey All!

I wanted to add another fish to my tank, but wanted to check my stock levels first. I have a standard 55 gallon reef tank. Right now there is a small tomato clownfish, an orange lined chromis, a small six lined wrasse, and two baggai cardinals. I was thinking about a small pygmy angelfish, or something similiar as a highlight fish. Thanks!

You only have 5 small fish so another small one shouldn't be a problem. Careful with the pygmy angelfish in a reef tank. Could nip your coral.

In my 55 gallon mixed reef tank:
False Percula Clownfish pair
Royal Gramma
Blue/Green Chromis
Red Firefish pair
Spotted Mandarin Goby
Yellow Watchman Goby
Green Clown Goby

Your clown is going to get big, don't forget that. You may want to wait till he is full grown and see if your tank can handle the bioload (NO3 & PO4).

Good call kysard1! It's nice to know I'm not completely near the max bio load yet! Thanks!

Nice tank Josh!

A centropyge will be fine in there, but watch your corals. What are you thinking of getting?

I'm not sure...still looking around, doing some research. I wanted something that would stay relatively small, but be something unique.
