Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I setup a 26gal RS nano about 3 weeks ago. Used the live rock and water from my previous pico. I also added some dry rock to fill in the tank and dosed with 3x the amount of fritz turbo start for my size tank. The only fish transferred over is a flaming prawn goby (which I haven't seen since getting sucked through a Nero 3). I added 2 Storm clowns and a pink streaked wrasse from the start. They all seem healthy and eating well. My question is, if I add a tail spot blenny will that be overkill for a 26 gallon tank as far as fish stocking?
 
I think you'd be ok with a good filter and regular maintenance. Tailspot blenny won't add much waste but they do love picking algae off live rock.

Yeah. That's my concern as I don't have any algae growing, yet. Is there anything I can feed it to supplement that?
 
My tailspot eats pellets and any frozen food (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, marine algae, ocean plankton) that I feed the tank. His belly is always fat. He'll pick stuff off the live rock that you can't even see.
