    I agree with the other members.... you ARE overstocked. When you get fish, always consider their adult size and keep to the rule of 1 inch of fish per gallon.

    Thanks everyone...really appreciate your help. Will be taking a few fish back this week. The one blenny is a huge eater and waste producer so he is certainly going back.

    Very true. Plus, having a lighter bioload will save lots of headaches if your power goes out or you overfeed etc.

    yeah that is true, sorry about that.
    But yeah definatly an overkill for your biocube 29, thats around 55gallon + stock. Good choice for deciding to take your fish to lfs, I would keep from 3-4 fish for your biocube 29.

    Yes I would say its overstock, how long have you had this setup. Keep and eye on your params, sounds like its time for a bigger tank?
