Safe bio load

Mikro · #1 01/09/2008, 05:32 PM

This is what I have in a 75 gal. tank:
1 Clown fish
1 Black cap Basselet
1 Yellow Stripe Wrasse
1 Rose anemone
1 Chili Coral
1 Yellow Fiji Leather
Yellow Polyps, and White Polyps of various sizes.
About 10 Hermits and 10 Snails.

Can I still add something? I was thinking maybe another leather or some other coral.
Would another fish be too much?

The better your skimer the more you can have

there are many many 75's out there with much larger bio loads. What it really comes down to is your husbandry skills. I think you are safe to add to your system, especially some more soft corals. What are your parameters now? that should give you a pretty good idea...

You still have room for more in there. Just keep in mind that the black cap basslet can be sort of a bully. I've got quite a few more fish than that in a 55. But it does depend on your husbandry skills. Keep moving slowly as you have been. Oh and you do know your calcium is quite a bit too low right?
