Stock verification #2,005,483: is my 29 gal biocube overstocked?

[SwimsWithFish]

I here's my new stock list for a biocube 29 reef:
1 occ clown
1 royal gramma
1 bangaii cardinal
1 yellow watchman goby
1 purple firefish
1 blue/green chromis

I'll have a skimmer and run chemi pure elite plus a fuge with chaeto and mangroves so filtration is prime.
What do you guys think?

 

[redsea]

I like all of those fish, nice choices! I am just not sure about the single Chromis, aren't they happier when they are with some of their own kind?

 

[carey]

List looks good, very well thought out it seems. Glad you are taking the time to get it just right.

Just keep up on your water changes, 6 fish in a cube is pushing it a bit and water quality tends to slip. I'm battling nitrates now in my biocube, but it's mostly because of my feeding schedule i think. lol

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Thanks guys!!! Yeah stocking is like my favorite sport!!!

 

[carey]

LOL. I have a pad by my computer that I list my future 90g stock in. I have all sorts of little notes and things for each fish. lol It IS fun.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Hahaha ikr! Alright since the chromis is a no go how about a blue sapphire damsel? LA says there peaceful. If not the damsel im just going to do the sixline.

Id go with the wrasse from what I hear damsels can turn out to be quite aggressive but I haven't kept either just know that I want a wrasse lol

 

[carey]

I like the sixline idea. It's nice cause you have a covered top and they are jumpers so I think it's a good opportunity to get one. if I had the room I'd get one. LOL

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Hmmmmmmmm..... Yeah I think that's a good idea. My lfs sells them and there really active(which is what i want). I love my lfs but there store is 80% coral and 20% fish.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Plus I don't have to worry about them being aggressive.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

So I guess:
1 occ clown
1 royal gramma
1 bangaii cardinal
1 purple fire fish
1 yellow watchman goby
1 six line wrasse

 

[Mrc8858]

That's pretty much identical to my plan just no cardinal or firefish lol

 

[Bige]

There are cases of six line wrasses nipping coral. Just keep an eye on it.

There are also people that say their sixline was a bully and wouldn't let the other fish eat. They are carpet surfers and will jump in the back chamber of a cube too.

I know I'll get a fish saver and he will be last
