jeremy petrie · 03/13/2008, 04:02 PM

I have 1 blennie, 1 royal gramma, 1 perc, and 2 damsels in a 75 gal all less than 3 inches and only running a sea clown no sump also hermits, snails, conch, cleaner clam, feather duster and corals zoos, shrums, zenia and leather all small frags want to know if im maxed out or if i can add other things like cleaner shrimp, anemone, 1 green chromis and a six line wrasse not all at once but little by little down the road

I think you could probably add at least one of the fish. The anemone should be okay once the tank has been stable for a while, if the lighting is good enough. I'm not sure, though, since the SeaClone isn't one of the better-rated skimmers.

The more live rock you have the more fish you can add. As it is right now, you probably arent close to being overstocked. Just be aware the more fish you add, the more water changes you need to do to keep the corals healthy.

I think 75 is the point where you can start adding cool things. The 18" depth helps with creating caves in the rockwork for critters to hide.
