I'm not saying how many fish I have. But interestingly, they don't put out much of a load. Nitrite is 0. Oxygen is at 90% throughout day time and night time.

HOLY more than 3! LOL I dont think its that bad because clown gobys,trimma's,and other similar sized fish dont really produce much of a bioload.....But you are pushing the nano limits on this little guy,pretty impressive acually.

Hes skimming with a remora on a tank that small, however, LOL so it makes sense that he can have several fish on it.

This is looking awesome Sam!

Haha. Yeah. Actually, I installed the Remora on about Dec 15th. The fishes had all been doing well previous to that though (with the exception of 1 yellow clown goby which wouldn't take prepared foods after a month of trying to wean it off baby brine shrimp). However, I wanted to add more water volume and remove my air pump. The Remora w/ smaller pump was the perfect answer. The corals have been much happier since.

Nanoreefer, I don't know if these tanks are still available at King Ed. I know they had a very hard time moving (selling) these tanks so I don't think they will be reordering them.
