bioload question...

flipteg · 11/22/2006, 12:53 PM

i have a 30 gallon tank with a percula, a hi-fin goby, red head goby, green banded goby, and a dwarf angelfish... the rest are corals, shrimps, and other invertebrates... i have about 40 lbs of live rocks and a skimmer... i was wondering if this system is considered low, medium, or high bio-load...

Depends upon your water parameters and feeding habits.

i feed every two days just enough what the fishes can eat in a short time...

but why would it depend on parameters...? the bioload will dictate what the parameters are...

With that many fish I was going to say high but looking at the types I'd put it on the mid range.
