I have a 75 gallon tank and it has been set up about two months. I had some problems in the beginning and it took a little bit longer to cycle. All my numbers are good and i am looking to add a cleaning crew and fish. I want to place an order from here but if i get a reef package and say 2 fish will i overload the bio and loose it all? Should i break it up and make two seperate purchases? Thanks!
p.s. i have one damsel, two camelbacks, and a cleaner shrimp

i have heard that you need one crab per gallon, most local fish stores will offer a reef package that have all the things you need

ok let me rephrase my question. How many inverts/fish are safe to put in at a time? Obviously if they sell reef packages you would acclimate them all at the same time, but can you do fish as well? Thanks for any suggestions!

You can place your whole order at the same time, just watch your ammonia for a couple days after doing so.

LOL 1 crab per gallon I would have a sandbed of crabs in my 115G tall
I just thought that was funny. I would say 1 crab to 5 gallons or so. You should really only add 1 fish at a time unless your tank is fairly established.
