Should be fine. Getting them eating will be the challenge long term with competition but they eat meaty foods and some vegetation

Could i add more fish or am i topped out
Haven't you had problems with ammonia in your tank? Did you ever get that figured out? That Emergency thread was only a week ago.

In your thread about the ammonia problem, you said the tank was 125 gallons. That tank had the same stock as this 180 gallon tank. Did you move the fish to a new tank?

Yes I vacuumed the substrate(it was just a little bit dirty though..) performed 50% water change(which I havent done since adding bio spira and fish in july) that brought it down to .2 or around, this 125 will be converted to a 180 in less than a month, I am always looking to increase my tank size if I can, started with a 55, btw I didnt think a water change would help as I had done it before and didnt do anything(this has happened to other reefers as well)
