rate my bioload

[Spiny]

I haven't had many bigger tanks. I need help figuring how high my bioload is.

I'm running a 120g mixed sps dominated reef. Vodka dosing. Feeding almost only thera +a 2x/day

Fishes:

foxface
yellow tang
ornate leopard wrasse
sixline wrasse
watchman goby
royal gramma
2x percula clowns
3x bartlett anthias
2x lyretail anthias

Looking forward to your opinion. Thanks

I think we would need way more information to even formulate a guess.

The good news is that it's pretty easy to figure this out. Test you paremeters and if they are within your expected range, then your bioload is fine. The only other major consideration is O2 which is a factor of skimmer and flow.

In my150 gal I have
sailfin tang
orangeshoulder tang
3 clowns
8 wrasses
2 Bangui cardinals
prawn goby
green mandrin
7 dartfish
4 blood shrimp
4 cleaner shrimp
4 conchs
3 starfish
So you are ok.
Skimming is big when you are overloading the tank with and feeding a good strong ski
me is a must

In the tank I've got a 40-50x turn over. Skimmer is the SRO3000 (a little overkill, I know..)

Personally I think you're doing fine. Your largest fish being the foxface (now or eventually) and the tang will be the poop factories, the rest are relatively small and not an overly large bioload. I would wager you could likely get away with a couple more medium sized fish without any problems as long as you're running a good skimmer (I don't know what a SRO3000 is but it sounds fancy :razz:).

Thanks for your input. The SRO = super reef octopus. It's the newish octopus deluxe line. A little loud for my liking, but one hell of a skimmer

Ooh those are nice :cool: I was looking at those for my 180 but then a great deal came up on a Euroreef so I ended up going with that.

I would say that's a fairly average Bioload, in comparison to my nitrate factory you will do just fine. I'm running a 170g, 65g, 70g, 30g and 30g all plumbed together (so close to 350g) and the following all live in there:

1 Purple Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Orange Socket Tang
1 2 Spot Bristle Tooth Tang
1 Yellow Mimic Tang
1 Chocolate Mimic Tang
2 Square Back Anthias
1 Mcoskers Fairy Wrasse
1 Long Fin Fairy Wrasse
1 Yellow and Purple Canary Wrasse
2 False Perc Clownfish
1 Coral Beauty Dwarf Angelfish
2 Adult Bangii Cardinals
9 Toonie sized Baby Bangii's
1 Saddle Back Clownfish
1 Copperband Butterfly fish
1 Tail Spot Blenny
1 Bi Color Blenny
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Bi Color Dotty Back
6 Peppermint Shrimp
2 Cleaner Shrimp
2 Blood Shrimp
1 Blue Harlequin Shrimp

:neutral:... 4 Times they are fed automatically during the day, 1 VERY large feeding right before the lights go off.
