i have a 29 gallon bio cube reef tank with 1 black occ clown 1 occ clown 1 chromis 1 midas blenny 1 hectors goby 1 lawnmower blenny and i keep my nitrates at next to nothing and think i could add 1 or 2 more fish any suggestions?
 
Your parameters might be ok but your list is pretty aggressive and I think that is you add anything else, it will get beat up.
 
all my fish have been in there for a long time i havent lost a fish in about 3 months i know i could put another in there im just tryna get other peoples prespective nothing seems to be super agressive or show any aggresion at all
 
Personally I had a 29 gallon biocube myself I used to do 2 water changes a week I had a yellow corris wrasse 2 clownfish 2 ywgobies and Something else. But then it's like your always teetering on edge. If you skip a change or add too much food you could risk losing a lot. Then if you want to add coral you'll have to be even more on top of it.
I'm not trying to make you paranoid but I played that game for a while and it gets old fast lol. I would advise you to get some kind of small skimmer with your tank the biocube skimmer doesn't do the job as well as it should!
 
list sounds large for a 29 tank. I just added a purple fire fish and a dottyback to my girls 10g tank (only two fish in there). Now today was the day I added them but they seem like nice small peaceful fish.
 
i know for sure a yellow corris needs a 55 gallon or above that was your first mistake not trying to sound like im judging but yellow corris need 55 gal or above
 
dotty backs are realy pain in the but lol but yea you can only put 2 fish in a 10 gal lol
 
I think you shoyld be fine adding fish. Even if you skip a wc here or there, if your nitrates are next to nothing, then they shouldn't jump too much.

Compatible fish with your current stock would include a watchman goby, zebra dartfish, grammistes blenny, pike blenny, or royal gramma.
 
i know for sure i cant do another blenny lol im pushing the limits haveing 2 blenny's right now and i have to do a wc allot i prefere to have a clean tank but im looking for something that is very active and has nice colers

Grammistes blennies are open water swimmers, not rock perchers, pike blennies remain exclusively on the sand, they both occupy a different niche than your other blennies, and won't present an issue.
 
i just would not push it anymore my tank is 2 small for 3 blenny's to get along im lucky with the 2 getting along lol
