Am I stocked now?
Just curious to what you guys think about my stocking of my 90gal drilled tank.
As of now, its got a niger trigger, a sailfin tang, a peacock puffer, a dragon wrasse, and 2 small damsels. All of the fish I'd classify as small at the moment. The damsels will be removed as soon as I can catch the little buggers!!
I don't have a skimmer, but am religious about my water changes, being that they are all messy eaters, lots of waste.
Would you say I'm at my bio-load now?
Jay

i would think, especially without a skimmer. get a skimmer and it would be much easier on you, what do your nitrates hit and how often are your water changes.

With the larger fish, I wouldn't add anything else and definitely save up to get a skimmer - it's tough to run any type of closed system (no matter how small or large) without one. It will help the water a lot!

Ya, that is allot of fish, especially when you stop to think how big some of those get. Your fish would be very happy if you bought a good quality skimmer.
