Can my 45g Red Sea MAx -E-170 Cube hold these fish?

[anthonyhdo]

Am I going to overload my system?

2 ocellaris clownfish
1 black cap basslet
1 Midas Blenny
1 Diamond Watchman goby
1 clown goby (yellow)
1 clown goby (green)
2 Kauden Cardinalfish


Any advice is appreciated!

It kind of depends on whether this is going to be a FOWLR system or a reef. That does seem like a large bio-load for that tank, but if you have sufficient nutrient export and are diligent with maintenance, you might be able to keep that many fish. I don't know about the compatibility of that mix, so I would do research on that before I went through with the purchase.

what is a FOWLR? My tank is a AIO with no sump, I thought the clown goby would be okay to add in because they only grow 1 1/2 inches each.

Shouldn’t be bad, none of them get huge. Just need to be sure you manage nutrient control.
