Is my tank maxed out?? 46 gal

[woody189]

I have a 46 gal tank w/ 45 lbs LR. I have 2 clowns, a royal gramma, a sixline, a purple firefish, and last night i bought a Lemonpeel. The lemonpeel is really active and nice and not aggressive, i'm really happy with him.
My question is am i maxed out?? I'm thinking i may be able to squeeze another fish or two in there, but my worries are it being overloaded, and also my lemonpeel not welcoming any newcomers.
I was thinking of getting a damsel, i would think it would probably be able to hold his ground.
I have a skimmer, canister filter, 45 lbs LR, and 3 powerheads.
you think i'd be okay, or should i just stop now??
thanks

what are your latest water readings ?

 

[sman]

Id say your pretty full myself, but it would be close, stay ontop of those readings for a while and see how things look.

if you get a damsel he will eliminate a few of your other fish wich will help your bioload but I dont recomend this

Right now...
ammonia-0
Trites-0
trates-15ish
SG-1.026
i haven't checked PH in a while but when i do it's normal.
I know damsels are super aggresive, that's why i never added one, but i thought it would be okay if it's my final fish. I figured once the more peaceful are established, a damsel won't cause too much trouble.
I wanted a nice deep black colored one, i think it's called domino but i'm not sure, the picture on this site looks faded.
What should i be feeding my Lemonpeel, Right now i feed my fish frozen mysis, frozen brine once in a while (i know not the best), flakes and pellets, should that be good or do i need some other stuff for the angel??

stay away from the damsels, consider a chromis or two, or maybe a pair of cardinals.
In my 46 reef I have about 65 lbs live rock, and my stock list is
2 false perc clowns
1 blackcap basslet
2 blue/green chromis
1 pink spot shrimp goby
1 6 line wrasse
The basslet and goby are fully grown, and I don't have a problem maintaining water quality.
You can get away with more fish depending on the amount of rock, which skimmer you run, and what type of corals you keep, a tank with soft corals will be much more forgiving than an sps tank.

I would stay clear of the Domino's while they are so very cute when young sporting their black and white spot. When they get older they loose this coloring and turn into a drab gray color, not very appealing.
Plus they are not the friendliest little characters either. With the nice array of fish you have in there I would not add one.
What you could add though if you like the black and white look is a Banggai Cardinal. They are very pretty fish.

I don't have any anemonies or corals or anything, and i'm not going to get any, any time soon. i can't afford it.
I guess i'll forget about all damsels, any other super dark black fish out there that i could get?? if not, what fish can i add so late, i don't want any of my other fish to pick on it, particularly the angel
and i have a coralife superskimmer. this is the only skimmer i've used so i have nothing to compare it to, but it works pretty darn well.
thanks for teh help

i think you could put in another.

 

[rs1831]

I would add about 10-15lbs of live rock and then I think you would be ok adding another fish depending on what type. What are you interested in? Another goby would be good.

 

[sepulatian]

You could get one more fish. Don't add anything else yet. You just added a lemonpeel. Give it a month or more. Think long and hard about what you want. It should be a small, non-aggressive, fish.

 

[woody189]

I'm not adding it anytime soon. I'm just figuring out what to get.
I was going to add an aggressive fish because from what i remember reading in the past, they always said start w/ the passive fish and work your way up to the aggressive. And that if you want a damsel, add it last, and obviously never cycle w/ it.
I guess i'll get a nonagressive fish when i'm ready.

 

[woody189]

Would i be able to get away with another goby??
I was thinking diamond goby or pink and blue. neither would fight with my firefish right?? and do you think it would be too big considering my current stocklist??
thanks again
