how many fish is consider overstocking..

let say in a 1) FOWLR tank

2) Fish with Coral tank?

my tank is 3ft length* 3ft height (water up to 2.8ft) * 3ft width.

how many fish can i put..?

i got 8 small fishes (those $1 ones), 3 tube worms, 2 hermit, 2 small tang and 2 Cleaner Shrimp and 1 blood shrimp.

I am just an average FR (fish reefing) writer. If you like my FRs, please upz my points.

still depended on whether you have sump. With sump, your water volume is higher and gas exchange volume.

And your flow rate as well.

but from glance, you could put up to 4 tangs, a lot of damsel, goby, blenny.........

gentle reminder, stock up slowly......

Ya I believe too, imagine you have to stretch your body down and across the tank to place the live rocks careful on the below and back... :(

Very stressful for your back :cry:

Anyway I think should be fine, your tank should be near to 200 gallons - should be big enough for the livestocks to live peacefully...but filtration is another factor :lol:
