    That makes sense, thanks for your input.
    So, I'll cut out the chromis, and go from there, adding in the Coral Angel the last.
    What about the pair of cardinals, should I add them one at a time? I read a few places that they should be introduced at the same time, but I'm sure that's for behavior issues, not taking into account bioload or cycling. What's the consensus on that?
    As far as the lights go, yes, they do seem to get hot. I added two little clip on computer fans and they seem to be helping.

    Add the cardinals together, a single cardinal can get stressed.

    Lights

    I have the same light setup on a custom 55 gal..
    I did have a problem with the temp going up 2 or 3 deg..

    I added a strip of wood to each side, raised it an inch.. Now no problem to speak of..
    I have 2 clowns, 2 cleaner shrimp, some leathers, and mushrooms..
    5 snails, 4 hermit crabs....

    Later I'll upgrade my lighting.. When I see a need to ..
    But so far everything works.. And I'm having a blast watching it..

    Good Luck, Have Fun !! Larry
