Hey, there!

I'm looking for some input regarding the current bioload on my tank. I think I'm approaching my fish limit, but I'd like some of the wiser heads to chime in. Trying to exercise some discretion, here, and leave myself a bit of wiggle room rather than peg the needle regarding the number of fish in the tank...

Tank specs:
140-gal (60x30x18)
~150 lbs of live rock
EuroReef RS 135 skimmer
30-gal sump (runs with 10-15 gals)
Mag9 return
Two Koralia 4s
One Koralia 2s
Sequence Dart driving a closed loop through two SCWDs

Fish stock:
5" Blue jaw trigger (1)
4" Yellow tang (1)
4" Lawnmower blenny (1)
3-1/2" Coral beauty (1)
2-1/2" Royal gramma (1)
2" Chromis (3)
2" Onyx perculas (2)
2" Mandarin (1)

Note: None of my gear has any mods. All are out-of-the-box.

Thanks much!
Derry

It's a EuroReef. Forgot to list the brand next to the model.

you should also put the size of the fish, i've since huge and small tangs, puffers, chromis, etc..., but in my opinion you can still put more fish

Fish sizes added to the original post, per Gilbert's request.

I agree you can put more fish in.

I have more fish than that, in a 75. It's also skimmerless, I had the same skimmer...
