| Plate Coral  | Re: ok am i pushing the limits? I would say you are definitely pushing the fish limit. Do you have a place to move the carpet once it gets too big for the 29gl? Shouldnt the carpet also be under MH's?

| Reef Addict (hopeless)   | Re: ok am i pushing the limits? Uh oh? Pushing the limit? You've pushed PASSED it on a few levels! You need to read up on limits and "Adult" size of your critters. I'd suggest relocating several "Critters" to another tank regardless of your tank size. I'm sure that's a BEAUTIFUL combination but you're setting up for a crash if you don't make some changes. would not want to see that. Good luck
