Hey all,

I have a 55 "breeder" that is 48l x 15w x 18t mixed reef. I currently have 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 Christmas wrasse that is 4-5", 1 bicolor blenny, and 1 carpenter flasher wrasse. All fish get along fine. I'd like to increase my bio load and think I can get away with two more smaller fish. What do y'all suggest? I'm having to dose nitrates and phosphates as they are low to undetectable. I'm running a skimmer and a refugium. My only requirements are reef safe and $60 or less per fish.

Thanks for your help.
 
You have swimmers in there. You could add a small blenny and a goby. They are different niches and none of the other fish is likely to even notice them.

My only concern with that is my bicolor blenny possibly being agressive to them. I've read they can be hit or miss. So far he's been great with the other fish.
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
