Am I maxed out

[joe0813]

I have a 100 gallon tank that I set up when we bought our new house. I had a 180 so some of my fish came from that some are older like my female clown and both tangs. I want to add a few more swimming fish. Here's my current fish list.

2 clownfish
Yellow tang
Purple tang
Yellow assessor
Flamehawk
Melanarus wrasse
Purple firefish
Red firefish
Rollands damsel
Royal Gramma

Want to add
Flasher/fairy wrasse
Mandarin - I do dose pods

I don't see an issue adding those two extra fish as long as you have a canopy/cover to keep the wrasses in the tank.

You only get one box of water! I had a 100 gallon tank with 16 fish. Four were tangs and had no aggression. Your stock list are on the smaller size fish, I think you’ll be able to add without a problem. How’s the nitrates now ? Collect them now and get ready for the next upgrade

I do have a lid and a canopy. I've lost enough fish even with just a canopy.

Nitrates are usually around 5-10 and sometimes even zero with me feeding pretty heavy. Next upgrade is in about 4-5 years. planning on finishing the basement with an in wall 350-450 with fish room behind it

Plenty of room with 5-10 nitrates in my opinion. Enjoy your reef!

Could always just carbon dose oifno3 gets higher than you like but honestly. I've run full blown sps tanks with 90+ no3 and 0.6+ po4. My system now, at least last time I checked about a month ago was 27ppm no3 and as of yesterday po4 of through the roof due to some large fish. Dosing a full capful of brightwell phosphat-e daily for a few weeks now and nothing's budged yet.
