I have a 2 week old 70 gal tank set up with a refuge and 70 pounds of live rock courtesy of Garrett, if ya know him, Addboy. Tuesday, after checking water conditions of course, I put in a clean up crew (reeftopia reef package 1) I also added 3 peppermint shrimp (free, Go Reeftopia!), 1 conch, and 1 brittle star. I was browsing River City and saw a lonely sad green chromis so I added him as well. How long do you think before I can give him some friends (a few more chromis)? I don't want to overload my tank. Thanks.

That really depends on the condition of the tank, its not a matter of how long as much as what are the tank perameters as far as ammonia, nitrate, nitrites, etc. If you can post these results we can be of more help to you. A two week old tank is just getting started. Resist the urge to add more load.
