I have twelve fish

4 yellow tangs (not my plan but a friend was closing down his tank so i took his - better life than a toilet flush)
1 Purple Tang
1 Blue Tang (my 2 yr old instead on dori)
1 Flame Angel
1 Eiblii Angel
1 Purple Firefish
2 Maroon Clowns
1 Fridmonti (but I haven’t seen him in awhile).

just want to add a goby and pistol shrimp and no more fish...

surprisingly, the tangs are all buddies so far...

i have a bail out plan if I need to remove any...

That’s a serious bioload!
My current fish are
3 blue chromis
3 azure damsels
3 zebra dartfish
2 red lined cardinals
2 ocellaris clowns
Royal gramma
2 wheeler gobies
Pink spot goby
Diamond goby
Tailspot blenny
Flametail blenny
Purple firefish
Melanarus wrasse
Coral beauty
Tomini tang
Male blue throat trigger
Sold a foxface and another trigger that I had as well.

The cheapest I can find! I actually double the recipe when I make it.

like I said... the yellow tangs were purely saving them from a flushing....

I only wanted one yellow, a purple, and a blue.

so far so good.

I can’t wait to see my wife’s face when I am making a drink for the tank....

did you have to adjust your dose. Basically is your recipe the same strength as NOPOX?

I know right. Literally no signs of aggression. Granted they were all put in the tank at the same time except the purple tang.

Same dosing per NoPox instructions which is nice. There are a couple threads on here about it if you want some reassurance.

You won’t use as much as they are supplementing each other. Definitely start slow and creep it up till you find a balance. A lot of folks use both.

If you are going to run NoPox thru a doser, it may eat away at acrylic. To be safe, I use a vodka bottle!
