Can I add more fish?

[freedominco]

Here's what I got now:

2 clown fish
1 small sailfin tang (can go to father in laws 125 later)
1 orange spotted goby
1 PJ cardinal
1 sally light foot crab
1 lawnmower blenny (have not seen him in awhile)
10+ misc snails
6 red or blue leg hermits
5 peppermint shrimp

lots of soft corals, mushrooms, zoas, duncans, pin leather, umbrella leather, feather dusters, sun polyps, star polyps
90 gallon with 55 gallon sump
100+ lbs live rock
50 lbs live sand
sump with live rock and ball of cheato in dsb
kinda cheap skimmer but does a ok job
20 gal water change every two week



I would like to add more fish would this be ok? I was thinking at least another cardinal or maybe some chromis? I would also like to get a coral banded shrimp and some sort of star fish, I have read that many will starve in reef tanks are there any that can live in a 90 gallon?

A sailfin tang is way too large for a 90 gallon tank OR a 125 gallon tank. This is not a bioload issue. Your bioload is moderate to low, so if you get rid of the tang, you can certainly add fish.

I agree that your bioload is not that heavy. You should be able to add 2 or 3 more fish of the cardinal/chromis size if you want.
Serpent stars are fairly easy to keep, but most others are kind of touchy -- some have success with linkia or fromia stars.

Are chromis kept in even or odd numbers?

I agree you can add a few more fish. Just keep in mind how big they will become. I also think you should post some pics. It sounds like you have a nice setup.

ok how about me...

37 gallon with...

1 Clown fish
1 Yellow Tang (A baby that will be moved as soon as he gets a lil bigger... I'm not a mean guy)
1 Bi color Blenny


How many more can I get.... and any recommendations on what type would be easy to care for, peaceful, AND reef safe

radiant and/or solar wrasse would be a reef safe addition cool colors and they move all over the tank.
