    Hi everyone,

    So I have several happy critters in my tank now, and was hoping I could add a final happy critter for a little more color. I've got a 29 gallon display, and a 20 gallon refugium with about a 40 gallon water volume. ATS, Chaeto, and ~60lbs LR. As far as coral's go I've got quite a few different zoanthids, and in time would like to add some SPS frags.

    Current bio-load is 2x 2inch blue/green chromis, and 2 Ocellaris Clown Fish (5 inches worth), lotta snails and hermits. So would anyone have some sugjestions on how to top this tank off? I was thinking along the lines, of adding a dwarf flame angel, a gramma of some type, six line wrass, or... something else.

    Anyone have some advice as far as to what else I could add? My main concern is I don't really know how to calculate my bio-load, and I don't want to push it by adding another fish. But if the 2 gallons per inch of fish rule of thumb applies, I could stand to add another one. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    P.S. I know I will need to upgrade soon as I can't get enough... so the 400 gallon office build on the company will begin soon! ;D

    Anyone actually know how to calculate bio-load accurately? I know that every fish can't have the same load. But is there a generalized scale that could help one determine if their getting close to being too much?
