SRC Member jxlex Posted May 20, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted May 20, 2013 To add or not really up to u.<br /><br />Imho, more livestock = more nutrients = more algae...<br /><br />If u can control the nutrients i dun see any issues, but if u cant its another nutrient factory for u... <br /><br />7 urchins like abit overboard though Quote :: just a noob :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i add some tang fishes bro jxlex? Your sps are just recovering and you still need to manage the nutrients and algae issues. Let your aquarium reach equilibrium first. The last thing you should do is to add more stuff, such as Tangs with high bioload, to upset the entire system. Resist the temptation to stock anything until the problems are well under control. Good luck.
