How close to fully stocked am I???

[Jeffd1979]

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how close to fully stocked i am.. I have a 37 gallon tank with 15lbs of live rock.. It has been running for 6 months now

I have as follows

2 small false percula clowns
1 small scooter Blenney
1 Dwarf coral beauty Angel
15 atlantic turbo snails
1 skunk shrimp

I don't want to put anymore fish in the tank but i was hoping i would be able to put about 5 more atlantic snails, maybe 2 mexican Turbos, a horshoe crab and 1 more skunk shrimp..

Could i do that or would that be pushing it?? what do you guys think?

The only thing I would be adding is more lr. As far as the snails, do you have enough algae for them to eat?

The snails and shrimp will be fine. The horseshoe crab is not appropriate for a tank that size.

I am starting to add more live rock.. i am going to start adding about 5lbs every 2 weeks till i am at about 45lbs... There is plenty of algea in the tank for them to eat now..

mogurnda: how big of a tank do you have to have for the horseshoe?? The ones at my local fish store are only about an ich big.. how big do they get?

Horseshoe crabs get 2-3' long and require a minimum of 100gls AND need at least 5-6" of sand (they have to be able to bury themselves completly) with lots of open spaces. The small ones still need lots of open spaces because they like to burrow into the subtrate, but they do get BIG.
