Am i overstocked?

[jpond83]

Im not really sure if i have too many fish for my tank. I do water changes about 3 times a month but im going to start doing them every week. I run carbon and no skimmer. I currently have. 2 molly millers, a sixline, fangtooth blenny, and a blue chromis in a 60g tank. All my coral are zoanthids and mushrooms. I have heard to not put 2 molly millers in the same tank but i think mine have paired up because they hang out with each other alot.

IMO you are not overstocked with a 60g. If it were my tank Id add one or two more fish and call it stocked. I would also take in consideration the foot print of the tank though. Filtration is obviously key.

cool thanks. i believe it is 30X24. Another question is my lighting. I have 4x28w t5'2 (2x10k and 2 atinic) and a 70w Mh. could i keep a clam or anemone easily or am i pushing it?

Im pretty sure salt water is pretty much the same as freshwater as far as bacteria goes and I had xlose to 30 cichlids in a 75 gallon tank back in the day. Just as long as you have plenty of filtration and oxigenation do water changes you should be good. I have a 100 rimless and I have 1 yellow tang, 1 sailfin tang, 1 yellow wrasse, 2 naked clowns, 1 Hippo tang, 1 midas blenny, 2 square anthias, 1 strawberry psuedo, 1 blue goby along with corals, snails, shrimp and a longspine urchin. Thats 11 fish and I have no issues with water quality. I do bi weekly water changes and check parameters regularly. For filtration I use a sump with filter media and chaeto algae in a fuge. I dont use any type of reactor or skimmer. I will probably start to use a skimmer pretty soon though.

I have a skimmer it just throws alot of bubbles so i stopped using it and switched to carbon. Im a cheap reefer so i dont want to go buy another skimmer right now.
