too many fish

[jbittner]

I currently have a 55 with a 20gal flow through sump/refugium.
Fish I have
Yellow Tang (6yrs in my tank)
Coral Beauty (6yrs in my tank)
False Clown Fish (7yrs in my tank)
Midas Blenny (New to my tank)

How does my Bio-load look. The tank is a softie dominated T5 Reef
Thanks

It really depends on the size of the fish. Since they have been in there that long I would assume they are quite large. But until the size is determined I would guess that you probably should not add more.

Do you have a good skimmer that is working properly?

Regards,

Pat

It doesn't sound overloaded--if you're keeping your fish alive for 6+ years you're doing great

I am just rebuilding my tank. I spent a long time just maintaining. I recently added the t5 lighting, return spray bar, new sump. I have an Amiracle Mini Quad protien skimmer that produces about 8oz of thinner brown to black skimmate a day (before the Midas). The Midas was a purcase I was not planning to make but he was a incredible fish.

CB=3.5"
YT=5"
Clown=2.5"
All growth slowed way down or stopped about 2 years ago
New one
Midas=4"

I think you're doing fine. None of those fish will get overly large in the first place, eccept for the tang.

Anyone else

Just fine. Your nitrate levels will tell you if otherwise.

Thanks Everyone.

Hey I have a coral beauty, mandarin, 2 occellaris, royal gramma, 1 neon goby, and 1 yc goby in my 55. You're not overloaded at all. Just near max. They should probably have enough room for themselves in your 55. And if you're doing your WC often, you are just fine in my book.
