Thoughts on adding a fish

[dekon70]

I was thinking of adding a new fish in a couple of weeks, I have a BC29 with 30lbs. of LR, a perc., a six-line wrasse, a few corals, and a typical CUC. The water always tests good, even before I do a water change. I was wondering if I could add something like a Royal Gramma to it. Would adding this overload the BC? What is your take on this?
TIA

I think you could add one more small fish to the tank.... You only have the two, right? I don't know much about the royal gramma, so maybe someone else can add some feedback for you.
Also, what sort of filtration do you have?

you should be fine adding another fish or two as long as you keep a routine maintenance schedule. I have a BC29 also and have 8 fish and alot of corals in mine, I wouldnt suggest having quite that many fish in yours but more than two is perfectly fine. I test my water every other day and change 5 gallons of water weekly. I have no water quality issues and everything is looking good.
