Too much bio-load??

[buddah001]

I have a 180g display. And have a kole tang, a yellow tang, a lyretail anthia and 4 clowns. Is this too much?? I cant really think it would be but someone is.

What are you running for a skimmer?

a MSX300A drlled for the Askoll pump. Rated for at least 2x my tank.

Plus I do 25g water changes every 2 weeks

I can't imagine that your bio-load would be too high with that number of fish, when you consider the size of your skimmer and consistent water changes. I personally think you could add a few more fish and still be fine.

I have never seen that skimmer in action before.....but is sounds like a beast.

I had 1 large blue hippo 1 large yellow a med sailfin 2 sixline wrasses a large tomato clown 3 black clowns 1 blue spot gobby and one damsel. I ran this all with a pm2 skimmer and did a 10percent wc every other week. I had no issues. I have a 220 now in there and just moved all the fish over running all the same equipment.
