Hi all,
So i have a 190 gallon reef that is 2100x625x625mm in dimension and just trying to get my head around an accurate stocking ratio. I've read that 1" per gallon is most widely known but that would mean 190" which just seems very high.
I assume we also need to factor in the type of fish in the reef for example free swimming like Tangs, Triggers, Wrasses for example but then the bottom dwellers and rock perchers like Gobies, hawkfish and some blennies.
When I look at my tank I feel like i can only get a few more fish but a few of my LFS said i could add many many more, especially smaller wrasses for example.
Would it be worth me adding my existing stocking with their current size so i can get your opinions?
Cheers
