Am I pushing it?

I have a 29gal. tank, Skilter 250, cascade filter for 55gal, 1 powerhead 60gph, 60lbs live sand, 25lbs live rock, plentium, odyssea lighting 130 watts 50/50s. I have 1 yellow tail blue damsel, 1 royal gramma and 1 pajama cardinal. Critters are 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 feather duster, 1 flat anemone, 1 long spine urchin and lots of snails. I would love to add a clown and a banner cardinal but I'm afraid I'm already pushing it. Water levels stay perfect. Should I try it? I could get rid of the damsel but I kind of like him, not mean like others I've heard of. Any advice would be welcome.

Thats a tuff choice, But your filter system could probly handle one more fish, but your fish may not be able to. They may get too crowded and then they get stressed and then you get Ick and stressed fish are not healthy fish. . I know i push the boundries too im my smaller tank ( 70 gal. ) But its over filtered and i always have my bigger tank i can move them too if theres any trouble. Soo thats just my 2 cents worth. goodluck either way!! Todd

People should warn you about this hobby, I've only had this setup for about a year and I'm already looking at 55 gal. and 70 gal. tanks.

That sounds like a plan, of course we'll have to charge money for this service. So we can buy bigger tanks and tons of fish for ourself. Ha
