Hey all -

I'm debating my fish load a bit. My system volume is around 135-140 gallons of water, with a 75DT SPS-dom running bare-bottom, 40B fuge w/ 2" sandbed and a lot of rock piles, and a 47gal DIY sump.

in the 75:
Keyhole angel
Tomini tang
Starry Blenny
Valentini
2 Occy clowns
Royal Gramma
6-Line wrasse
Ghost ribbon eel (they tend to stay rather small/ thin)

40 fuge:
watchman goby
orange-spot sleeper goby (I know, 'okay with caution' - several rock piles for each)
bunch of sexy shrimp


I kinda want to toss another wrasse or two in the DT. Nothing bit, max of around 4 inches, but I am debating if I should or not. Your thoughts?

you've got a pretty good bioload going on right now

Yep, I know. Hence the question if a couple smaller wrasses would be acceptably maxing the system out.

I'm doing a little carbon dosing too, my nitrates right now tend to stay around 5 and the macros in the fuge are quite happy. So are the SPS.

If it were not for the SPS I think you would be okay with that large of a bio-load, but I suspect it is going to be difficult to keep SPS with the given list.
