As long as you are dosing vitamin c you will be fine

Even though the hermits might eat them eventually, I'd add some snails. I like the nassaraus because they live in the sand until feeding time, so they sift the sand for you.

Do your orange stripe chromis' still have their stripes? Mine lost his as he got larger.

Too high - you should give me that orchid dottyback

(Levels look fine - I'd say you could add another fish or two without too much worry.)

(Levels look fine - I'd say you could add another 3-4" without too much worry.)

You should have said about 6" more - then he could have picked up my potter's pair! :spin2:

Keep testing levels, you may find that you will have to do more maintenence to keep the parameters good with the more livestock you have. As long as the levels are good an your maintenence is regular another fish or two shouldn't hurt. Be prepared that as they grow they will produce more waste and you will have to increase the rate you do maintence.
