But some people can get away with it plus if you are running the stock skimmer I hope you have better luck than me.

Overstocked already or will be?

My two clowns and six line were fine in a 14g Biocube for over a year and this tank is about 4 times the size plus it has a skimmer. So I would think 12 small fish would be fine, but maybe I'm over simplifying.

Btw your tank is not even 6 months old and therefore your pod population has not had a chance to stabilize. If your not doing this already you should be dosing with live phyto.
