FuEl Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 It's a very subjective question. No definite answers...only you can find out. We won't know cause we are not you...we have no idea what are the sizes of the organisms you are getting. You have to rely on yourself to take note. One good way will be to measure nitrite levels after every new addition. If it rises..wait till it falls to 0 before adding anymore things. It's like asking how many meals a person can eat in a day...a normal person would eat 3 regular meals. I would eat 5 large meals. I'm a pig.

SRC Member regularguy Posted September 6, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 6, 2003 i agree with fuel.... its very subjective. like if your skimmer is one heck of a good one, you could keep a large number of inhabitants but this would limit your fishes swimming space. but as a age old advise, it would be a max of 5 fishes for a 2ft tank.
