I try to do extra water changes to compensate..

That's actually another good point.

We both have 150g tanks , same dimensions even and same fish....if it was possible same every little thing.....

I do %100 water changes and you do %10 water changes

Do I get to keep more fish ?

Yes. With this consideration. While both tanks appear to be the same, I'm certain that if you could quantify it, the tank with more clean water has healthier fish, which makes them more resistant to stress related problems.

Theoretically you could, but in practice, the fish would be flopping around on the bottom of the tank every time you drained 100% of the water, so now I'm not sure...

Haha true true that's prob not a good idea lol

Done it a few times, fish seem to manage ok. They're flat, so it's not a biggie :)

This is way too funny now. Thanks for "answering" my question guys.

Hate when this happens :) As I said earlier, IMO the fish didn't die due to stocking, I'd probably just say bad luck.

I guess where I'm coming from is my experience with 2 current tanks I had 5 tangs in my 125 ish tank 6 feet by 18" by 28" not sure of exact size plus 10ish small fish All fish super happy for 2-3 years year 4-5 tangs start fighting during that time I started up a 117 gallon frag tank 6 feet long 12" deep split up tangs they still were not super happy in the end my 6" red sailfin stressed out my Achilles I had for over 3 years stopped eating got ich died 100% all my fault I learned from it. I hate getting into arguments about amounts of fish in tanks there is no right answer I'm sure in reality 95% of tanks are small but work in the big picture tangs grow if you keep them healthy they outgrow most tanks. Currently I have the rs sailfin and chevron in display tank doing good together ,frag tank has naso and 5 year old emporer angel reel safe so far.

Yeah I guess so. No more flame angels for me. Many of my fish I've had for over 2 years. 5 of them I've had for over 5 years. Most of the remainder are close to a year now.
