What are your thoughts of a good rule of thumb for the amount of fish you can keep in a 60 gallon? I have a Penguin 400 hang on filter, protein skimmer, UV sterilizer, and also added a plenum before adding the sand. I set up the tank about 3 weeks ago and I'm in the middle of cycling.
This is the 2nd go around for me having a SW tank but the last one I had was poorly rigged filtration and not much understanding of what I was doing. Now about 10 years later and learned that I have to be MUCH more patient.
I think I am going to plan on going with corals in about a year or so. I just want to make sure I can at least keep some fish alive before sinking more money into the tank - mainly for a good lighting system which I do not currently have.
