Is my tank over stocked?
Fish:

There is a about 35 lbs of live rock. No corals. Is my tank overloaded or can I sqeeze more in? (where did all the smilies go?) Matt

With what you already have in there I would say you are already quite overstocked and wouldn't think of adding anything else. If it was me I would be looking to add some more live rock for denitrifying some of the waste that's just got to be generated with that load and probably finding a new home for a couple of residents.

Thanks for the replys. I forgot to add that I have a protein skimmer. Its a Red Sea Berlin Hang-on Protein Skimmer.
"You want to squeeze more? I have to agree with Steve you are over stocked." In life I am a very very sarcastic person. Computers dont really relay that well. I sometimes reread my post and just think how retarded they sound. Thats why I am wondering where the smilies went? Fatpuff dwarf puffers are brackish water puffers that need salt when they mature. Really cool little guys. Matt EDITED: Ruth I just saw your post and I am buying more live rock as soon as possible. With no saltwater stores that have much near me I have to wait for vancouver.

I was thinking the same thing what clown.....I think he means your Niger Trigger....
Personally I think if you put in more rock and a better skimmer you should be able to put another fish or two in there...I think your big problem is because of the eel, he needs lots of space!!! I personally have 14 fish in my 77Gal tank!!! 2 Tomato clown fish Occ Clown Lemon Peel Angle Signapore Angle Regal Tang Psychadelic(sp?) Mandrin 6 line Wrasse Lunar Wrasse (sale pending) 2 blue Chromis 2 Yellow chromis sleeper Goby(although i haven't seen him in ahwile)
