Some might argue that you're overstocked already. However, the yellow clown goby will contribute negligibly to your bioload. The dottyback will probably be a behavioural issue in that small a tank and the chromis will likely die anyway, so why bother? You could probably add the clown goby but you might want to think hard about any other fish. Also upgrading your skimmer and supplementing your filtration will go along way towards helping you keep more. (maybe consider running GFO or possibly even carbon dosing)

oh, by the way, I noticed you're from Halifax. Any nice reef stores over there? Where do you do most of your buying - online or local? I'm from St. John's.

^^^^+1....good advice there...you never stated whether or not this is a reef but....just a heads up about the kent nitrate sponge...... it contains aluminum, and is thought to be an irritant to some corals
