I would stop there if you want to know the truth.

adding more with create a lot of bio load right?

but if you get a sump(more water volume) and a strong skimmer It wouldnt hurt to add a couple more

I like that advice!

Sixline fits your desired characteristics perfectly. Pretty small fish, so not too much additional bioload.

Agreed with that. Loved my sixline wrasse.

How about adding a refuguim and a mandarin goby?

 

[noschmo]

What about adding some good reef books that discuss fish compatibility?

 

[andiruleu]

thats a good idea noschmo.. maybe ill invest in one

I have a very similar set up to yours. I have a wet dry sump along with a fluval 304 and hope to add another fluval, more carbon and live rock bits into the wet/dry. So I can possible have another fish(midas blenny) and more soft corals.

Anyways, adding that sump would definitely help increase your bioload capacity. I have soft coral that does fine and and check how dirty my water is by looking at the white floss material to see how clean/dirty it is. Water changes every month. about 15% and run the protein skimmer once a week.

I think you can definitely add a few more fishes, if u get that sump and also factor in how active each of those fishes are. water changes would help.

I gave away my 6 line wrasse because he was an aggresive eater and chased my fridamani around. lemonpeel angel is a new addition - so I don't know his bioload on my tank.-I was wondering hows that coral beauty doing-what do you feed him?


My fish line up
1 yellow watchman goby
1 red firefish
1 blue tang
1 lemonpeel angel
1 bicolor blenny
1 fridamani
2 true percs...
cleaner and blood red.
