    as long as you put some good filtration on that puppy i dont see it being a problem fish wise
    i just wouldn't add any more fish and make sure to have lots of live rock.

    you could also look into buying 'dead' rock to add to the landscape but save your pocket a little.

    try and stay away from florida live rock as it will have alot of aptisia depending on where it was cured I AGREE more rock but QT the rock to make sure it has been cured properly. and will minimize your mini cylce. benifits of more rock will provide this is the most important one................................................... more places to add coral hehe the 2 filtration and 3 hidding places for the live stock.
