I think you'd be fine as well. Nice looking tank!

I think you'll be fine as well.
On a side note, that's a cool looking tank. Any chance we can see a full tank shot?

I would definitely say that you do not have too many fish. Not even close. My main display is 480 gallons and I have over 70 fish in it of which many are very large. My reef is packed and end with all kinds of corals and they all thrive.

Very nice tank!

Mishri · 07/25/2017, 03:33 PM

agreed, no problem. your blue tang will eventually outgrow your tank.. but the rest will be fine.

+1 good to go

BigJohnny · 07/25/2017, 07:17 PM

Should be good... nice tank

priyanshbendre · 07/27/2017, 11:00 PM

10 fish in 140? I would have thought about keeping 12

The thing is all the fishes selected by you are low bio load generator ( except tangs) so you're good!

Wow, what a cool looking tank! No, I don't think you have to many fish. You could get the anthias, but they should get multiple feedings a day
