I feel I need more fish in my 50 cube LPS tank. So far I have 2 small clowns, a baby tomini tang, yellow coris wrasse, watchman goby with pistol shrimp and a various clean up crew. I have very low nitrates and theres zero aggression with any of the tankmakes. Any suggestions on what I can add? Or am I already at my limit?
 
I have a 60g with 2 clowns, 13 chromis, six line wrasse, 2 unidentified blennies, baby yellow tang, pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp,fire shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, hermit crabs, snails, urchins, sps corals. Nitrates and phosphate have to be dosed to maintain. No aggression. Im upgrading to a 130g in November. I think you could add more and be fine.
 
I love chromis!! But in the end for me just one survives :(

Well i think utility fish are first, since you have a tang (algae), watchman (sand), coris (pest) i believe you're good. I just don't know if watchman is enough to stir sand, if so, maybe another critter to move sand. ANd as the tank matures you can have many pods, so maybe leave an space for a mandarin.

What kind of corals do you have?
