large bioload?

I have a 55 gallon sumpless/refuge-less aquarium. It is for sure, IMO, over bioloaded with 14 inch of fish not including two gobies. What are the effects of an overloaded system and what measures can be taken to prevent these problems.
Right now, there is nothing wrong everything is great. I am just curious and taking cautionary steps.
Oxygen levels can be stable with 10% weekly water changes and high surface level currents

The fish fully grown will accumulate to about 25inches of fish not including the two gobies. Plues, 10 of those inches would be a full grown tang which i would obviously have removed before getting too big for the aquarium anyways.
I have calculated about 13inches of fish is maximum for the tank.
Please give me some opinions> its a reef tank as well.

 

you might start to see down hill trend but inch of fish is a guide line not a law. the big question is how long has tank been set up and also water are filtration and lr setups there are many things to be considerd in stocking a tank other then 1 in per 5 gal rule. more mature setups will handle a larger bioload if stocked in a proper time line. you maybe over stock or just a hair over your limit.

 

Without an a sump or refugium, weekly WC's and feeding habits, you might start to see a raise in your No3. Depending on your biological filtration, you can also see some Nh3 and No2. As the fish grow and produce more waste, you might want to increase your WC's to 15-20%. BTW, when you say Gobies, do you mean Eng. Gobies? Luna

 

I have a yellow watchman and orange spot goby. Every time i do a water change I use a turkey baster to remove waste. Also, any waste that i see in the tank i remove with a simple turkey baste squeeze.

Any other hints as to nitrate removal?

 

The tank was setup a month prior to placement of fish due to the moving of one tank to another.

 

Do you have any No3? Luna

 

currently i have between 5-10 ppm nitrates. I am going to do a 10%WC right now.

 

sounds like rough time ahead

 

5-10ppm of No3 is not much, start to worry when it starts to increase to 60 and up. I had 20ppm for yrs with no ill effects. Luna

 

with current bioload and newly set up tank i would be afraid params will be way out of alinement soon.
