Bioload question..

[Playdope]

Is this an appropriate bioload for a 100 gal reef:

Foxface
Yellow Tang
Ornate Wrasse
5-7 chromis
3-5 anthias
.. and maybe a few other small fish

I think part of that depends on your filtration and maintenance routines. In my opinion you'd be pretty much there, unless you wanted to drop the foxface for something a little less active, and go with the lower numbers of the chromis and anthias.

I'd include neon gobies in that mix, too. (I love those little fish.)

For reference, I have an AGA 180 RR tank w/ 50g sump, huge protien skimmer, 290lbs of LR and a 6" sand bed. I run carbon monthly. Here is my stocking list:

(1) Yellow Tang
(1) Sailfin Tang
(1) Hippo Tang
(1) Mandarin
(4) Occelaris Clownfish
(2) Neon Gobies

I plan on maybe adding a few smaller fish to the list, but that is pretty much it. Personally I think you are at or above your limit.
