Too many fish?...Room for more?
I was wondering if I have too many fish or if I have room for more?
I have a 75 gal (48x18x21) with an emperor 240 and 400 and a turbofloater multi for filtration.
My current livestock list is as follows:
one purple tang2"-3"
one six line wrasse 1"
one LM blenny 3"
one sleeper goby 2.5"
two false Perc clowns 1" each
+ a few shrimp and a minimal clean up crew.
Is there room to get more? Any suggestions on what?
(I was thinking a pair of bangi cardianls or a few neon gobies, or a flasher wrasse, or a few chromis or a few jaw fish (sand is 2-3" deep) or a rabbit fish or...you tell me.

The tank has been up for about 10 months. All softie and LPS now, thinking about getting a few SPS when I find a good deal. I have been skimmerless for about 5 months, with a small break using one for a few weeks (untill I found out it was dripping on my carpet). I do a 10 gal water change every 1 to 2 weeks, (not more often, but not any more seldom). The only fish I've lost thus far was a mollie, when I first started cycling the tank. $2 loss.

With no skimmer... I wouldn't add anymore waste to the system, just my opinion though- I'm sure it would work if you put in some extra work...

I have turbofloater multi- as of yesterday. I am reconsidering the livestock issue due to the new skimmer.

If you are going to keep SPS, you might want to shy away from adding. I still think you can get away with 1 or 2 small fish. Perhaps 1 jawfish or 1 pair or bangiaa, then I would call it quits. I wouldn't do a rabbit or any other fish that's going to put on size. Just my two copper lincolns.

Did you get that skimmer figured out yet?
