    one thing with a 10 you can overstock pretty fast

    I don't think he is overstocked. I have an 8 Gal with 2 clown fish, bubble tip anemone, pulsating xenia, zoa colony, mushrooms, hammer coral, candy cane coral, and Green star polyps. And Im still thinking about more coral. plus I have a ton of live rock. I just want more zoas though. Nothing big.

    14 months. My mainstay for stability is the liverock and water changes.
    I do believe i'm pushing the bioload but mainly regarding the fish.
    my inverts (a few emerald crabs) dont really contribute that much at all to the load from what I hear/read. my major fault in the beginning was knowing jack smelt about lighting and water flow.

    howdy neighbor :)
