Too much live stock in 10G?

[peterk]

Hi all,

 

In my 10G, I have 10 lb of LR and 10 lb of LS.

I have a pair of small clown fish, a small reef purple lobster, about 8 snails and 6 blue legs.

 

I also have some zoos and yellow polyp, and a couple mushrooms on the LR.

 

The nitrate reading is about 10 ppm now. I change my about 2G water once a week. Do you think I can still add a couple cleaner shrimps? or more corals?

 

Thank you!

You got plenty of room for inverts and corals...they aren't the ones that will pump out the nitrogen....go ahead and pack the dang thing full of corals! Its the fish that are the biggest concern..both because of space and because of the fact that they're waste factories (and whole feeding aspect doesn't help matters either).
