    i agree with you unclejed ;)

    i think you will eventually too ;):p

    i have a 55 myself. current stock is the 2 osc clowns, 6line, blenny, mandarin

    none of those are particularly big. i have tried more (flame angel, firefish, gramma) param wise i was fine with more fish, but it just comes down to space. my current stock is as high as it'll fit...

    no.

    but i would suggest a larger CuC to keep up with your current (or future) bio-load as a precaution.

    I agree with Peredhil, a bigger Cuc is needed and would add some fun life to your tank.
    How could you NOT care about your bioload?! If thats too high for what your system can handle, you wont have a steady ecosystem for your inhabitants. Therefore you may end up with no fish at all!

    no offense but you're outta control, i larned the hard way, was new to the hobby, had a flame angel, clownfish, goby, six line, damsel, blackcap basslet, and really wanted to add a blue tang and did. In a week ich was outta control, lost the flame, clownfish, blackcape, and of course tang, was left with the goby, damsel and six line. Now have an appreciation for the lack of fish in a fish tank to maintain the best conditions as possible. Like many in this hobby have learned a 55 only goes so far and upgrading becomes a must to accomodate fish needs.
