Face The Shame Head-On: Let’s See Your Over-Stocked Tank...!

[dkfrosty1]

Shame shame shame, shame, shame shame.....! Lol

No tomatoes or eggs please!!

I now do water changes less frequently, probably ever 2 months or so as these days I find it just upsets all the water parameters to much

Beautiful!

was maybe not the president, but definitely a member of the “more fish than volume” club when I had JBJ Nano 29 and when I got my Red Sea Reefer 350. After cycling I added $600 in fish to the already $300 in fish I had. Pigs too. HUGE bio load.

Red Emperor Snapper
One Spot Foxface
Powder Blue Tang
Two-Spot Bristletooth Tang
Mimic Lemonpeel Tang
Yellowtail Blue Fusilier
Male and Female Lyretail Anthias
Darwin Clarkii Clown
Six Line Wrasse
Lawnmower Blenny
Blue-Green Chromis
Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp
MASSIVE CuC

no skimmer, no UV. Two huge wavemakers, two filter socks, lots of macro in fuge, weekly vibrant doses.

Current rendition of tank and I’m still going with an overstock, but with just a few larger fish and a couple small for utility, and a LOT more coral(hence the third light).

Regal Blue Tang
Purple Tang(coming out of QT tomorrow!)
Vlamingii Tang
Tomini Tang
Goldflake Maroon Clown
Six Line Wrasse
Diamond Goby
maybe a Mandarin
Same massive CuC but with more added.

this time I also have a proper QT setup, UV, Skimmer, some sort of red macro, and a ton of pods and phyto.

the nano doesn't seem overstocked to me Seems perfect!

in my 22g AIO I have (will not add more, territories are perfect, no more sleeping spots left):
2 Clowns
1 Starkii
1 Midas blenny
1 Royal Gramma

My IM 25g (will not add more, everyone gets along well but there are a lot of active swimmers and it just looks the right amount for the busy reef feel):
1 Bluestar Leopard Wrasse
1 Coris Wrasse
1 Fathead Anthia
1 Bundoon Blenny
1 Pearly Jawfish

Red Sea 21g:
2 Pygmy Filefish
1 Yasha Shrimp Goby
2 Yellowline Shrimp Gobys
1 Firefish
1 Leopard Puffer
1 Bundoon Blenny
with plans to add about many more small fish since this tank is chill/laidback. Green bandeds, pictus blenny, barnacle blennies, and those sorts. The three shrimp gobies all hang in one burrow, there is tons of territory left for some small social gobies/blennies.'


Never found bioload to matter, struggle with nutrients too low most of the time, I think it is more about individual fishes personality and territory but I only have nano's so I don't know jack about big tanks.

How was your leopard puffer? I want to put one in a 20gallon, he would be the only fish. Did yours have the “puffer fish” personality?

So my 180 is currently stocked with the following:

1 medium Picasso Trigger
1 medium Scopas Tang
2 small Domino Damsels
1 small 6 line Wrasse
1 small Talbot's Damsel
1 small 3 stripe Damsel
1 small Yellowtail Blue Damsel

Lastly, the 2 newest additions:
1 medium-small Flame Angel
1 medium-small Clown Trigger

I am considering removing both the Scopas Tang and the Picasso Trigger. These 2 have been a bit of trouble for me. the Tang hates Angels and other Tangs. I have lost several Angels to aggression issues. The Trigger is a bit too large for most new fish that I can find at my LFS. Rather disheartening to see that new Damsel with no body attached to its head in the morning (sigh).

Not the best pictures but that's about 50 fish in a 200 gallon

Lol. 50-in-200 is definitely getting up there!

Very gorgeous.
