Bro,

6 fish the max. .. but u need a good PS.

You must consider the type, size and weight of the fish too.

[Achilles Tang]

Logic dictates that you have to match the livestock bioload with your filtration/biological system.

Can you tell us more details about your setup?

[sunnymau]

here r some details of my setup

1x150watt MH(14000k)

filtration:refugium( DSB and Macro algea)

DSB 5-6 inch in sump, at east 2/3 the side(surface area) of main tank.

1x prizm skimmer

1x canister filter(for chemical filtration)

1x 1/2hp RR chiller

tank size:2ftx2ftx2.5ft(h)

this r the basic setup

more advise pls.

my plan:

2 x clown

1 x little Regal tang

4 x fire fish

is this too much?

[FuEl]

Do note that as the regal tang grows its size and temperament might change. The firefish would be intimidated by its constant swimming as the regal gets bigger. I would stick to 1 firefish. They are rather aggressive towards their own species unless they are a pair.

i thought fire fish can be keep in group?

pls clearify
