Hey Guys,
I have a 4' 85 gallon tank and it is a mixed reef but primarily LPS and Softies with 2 SPS.
Was wondering if my tank is maxed out on how many fish I should get for long term reasons. I was thinking about adding 1 or 2 more fish
Current stock list
7x small green chromis
4x lyretail female anthias (2 small and 2 sort of medium)
1x Powder Brown Tang
1x Midas Blenny
1x Coral Beauty
1x Pink Spotted Goby
edit: forgot 2x small percula clowns.
Nitrate and Phosphates are hard to get not bottom out.
Feed 3x flake food a day
RedSea Ab+ daily Max amount recommended
This was what I was thinking
Least aggressive approach
2x Lyretail Anthias
1x Chromis (possibly)
Most Aggressive Approach and would be probably only 1 or 2 fish from the below depending on what I get.
1x Tang (smaller side)
1x dwarf angel (really like a lemon peel or flame angel).
1x bi-color blenny
1 x goby (was thinking of a yellow watchman)
The coral beauty is pretty large, had it for a couple of years now, close to 3", maybe a little more. Midas Blenny and the Pink spotted are larger as well, probably 3" or so.
Any suggestions to different kinds of fish would be welcomed as well, I don't have a top and prefer not to have a top so I tend to stay away from fish that have a tendency to jump out (I know I took a risk with the midas blenny).
Thanks guys!
