I would say so.

if you have good filtration and a lot of space in there I would say no but don't add anymore.

 

[damsel luver]

I think it would be fine if you good filteration and a large enough skimmer. i advise u 2 get a larger tank coz marine fish are great 4 rainy days when u dont have anything 2 do.

 

[socal57che]

I think you're at your limit. Watch your water parameters. Small tanks are not as forgiving when something goes awry.

 

[brad pitt]

oh okay. ya i have an excellent filter and i do a very small water change once a week. i also use a lot of cycle to keep them healthy.
i really really want to get a much larger tank i just dont have the money im only 15 and i love this hobby so much but in the future when i start working i will get a 55gal or maybe more.
thanks 4 the advice!

You're in the same situation as me. I only have a 12G and I'm 16 with no $$$ which is basically the only way to expand in this hobby lol.

 

[srgvigil]

when you get 16 get a job

that pays for a lot of my expenses

Get some quick growing coral (xenia, colt and kenya tree leather, mushrooms) and frag and trade or sell them. Its a good way to make some extra money for coral!
