Am I Fully Stocked?

[mikellini]

I have a 93 gallon cube (30x30x24) with the following stock:

Misbar ocellaris x2
Bangaii cardinal
Diamond goby
Royal gramma
McCosker's flasher wrasse
Tricolour fairy wrasse
Melanurus wrasse
Kole tang
One spot foxface

Total water volume is just under 100 gallons with the sump, I have a strong skimmer and dose vinegar so have no nutrient problems. Minimalist aquascape, running marinepure media in the sump. I'd like to add one or two more fish, maybe a Copperband butterfly (have a source of mysis-eating healthy specimens), a dwarf angel, and/or another wrasse. Haven't added corals yet (want things to really stabilize first) but will have a mixed reef with one or two clams. Thoughts?

Anybody?

Some would say yes and others will say no. according to how much filtration you have, skimmer how much live rock you have. Lot of variables there, I have 6 big fish and 6 small fish in a 90 but I have a 35 gallon fuge with macro and a 30 gallon sump. I think I am over capacity a little but am planning a big build in the near future so I will just keep up the tank until then.

I would say your fully stocked. I prefer less fish in my tanks but that's just me.

Being a cube tank there's more surface to air ratio involved and more floorspace so that's a good thing in your favor. With that said I personally would not add any more. Cheers and happy reefing

Well that's three saying 'yes' to being fully stocked, I guess that's good enough for me. The fish I want to add would be questionable anyway, so I guess I was trying to kid myself :)
