I have a very high bioload in my tank too, and I have to admit after reading some of the others I don't feel as bad anymore.

Ok so maybe I do feel bad, anyone want to set up a 1000g in my basement However I will say this: there is lots of swimming room as well as hiding places, all the fish are fairly healthy and they all get along really well together.

*Update: we added a 28g long zoa tank to our current system and it has 1 yellow clown goby, 1 bi-colour blenny, 1 sixline wrasse and 1 clam
