Wow really interesting reading here!

Here are my bioloads:

20g - two flame angels, small abalone, small spattering of various snails
40g - two S. gigantea anemones, 1 E. quadricolor anemone, CC star, tiger cowry, 2 A. ocellaris, small spattering of various snails, stomatella breeding ground, aiptasia hatchery
75g - Z. desjardini tang, Flame hawk, sixline wrasse, CBB, potters angel; 2 urchins (blue tuxedo and math), 10 (or so) clams
115g- H. magnifica anemone, 2 S. gigantea anemones, 2 two-barred rabbitfish, 1 orchid dottyback, (until this weekend) canary wrasse, 1 clam, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, large abalone, green urchin, sand dollar (at least I put one in there, I never see it), hedgehog urchin, 2 conchs, 1 cucumber

To be honest I thought MY bioload was high. No offense but holey man there's a lot of fish in people's tanks!!! I still feel *my* bioload is high, so I guess I won't say what I think your guys's bioloads are I guess I subscribe to a uncommon philosophy to husbandry.. for better or worse, I don't know..
