So my tank is just chugging along. No major changes, no losses, etc. Pretty happy just maintaining it and watching the corals slowly grow.

All my fish are doing well *knock on wood*, and except for the clownfish in-fighting (solved by moving one pair to the sump), all the inhabitants are getting along.

Having said all that... it's boring not adding anything new. :)

I'd like to add a couple more fish, but I'm hesitant to rock the boat and tempt fate. After the previous issues we had I should just be content and leave things alone.

I know I could quarantine, etc., but I don't have the setup for that and don't want to spend more money on more equipment. I've been reading a lot about "pre-quarantined" fish, but between the winter weather and shipping fiascos, that's not a viable option right now. I've also seen posts where even "pre-quarantined" doesn't completely eliminate any possible issues.

What do you all do when you get to this point?
 
Start a new tank :)

If not i vote keep what you have.. you’ll be kicking yourself later if you add something and it all starts falling apart.
 
I usually add corals when I get bored. New fish tend to add more uncertainty and my clowns are bullies in my small tank.

Corals tend to rock the boat less even without quarantine. I do give them a good dip tho.
 
You could do something like starting a nice display sump, if you don't already have one.
