I'm running a 90gal mixed reef and wondering how many fish can it handle. So far Yellow tang, pair of clowns, bangi cardinal, and fire fish. Like to add more but don't want to overload. So that brings me to the question how many can it handle?
Was thinking of bioload wise. I know I will have to be careful of behaviorally. Skimmer is oversized for the system. Water changes 25% bi-weekly. Think dimensions are 48Lx18Wx24D plenty of swim room. maybe 50lbs. rock.Is the question how many can fit bioload wise, or how many can fit behaviorally?
You can fit more bioload wise for sure. And a number is dependent on the size of fish as well - obviously you could fit a gaggle of little gobies and such, but fewer larger fish.
Behaviorally, you'll need to use trickery to add other algae grazers since you have an established zebrasoma tang. But ground dwellers that don't compete should be easier.
