IS this too much? If so why?

[SunnyX]

Well I check my water every 2 days. These are my current readings-
P.h.- 8.2
Nitrite- 0 ppm
Nitrate-20 ppm
Ammonia-0.25 ppm

In my tank I have -

10 pounds of live rock
1 Queen angel fish
1 Lemon damsel
1 Fridmani
2 hermit crabs
2 fire snails
1 Cleaner Shrimp

I am planning on purchasing 4 more hermit crabs and 2 more snails.

What do you guys think?

well, i think it really all depends upon how big the tank is. queen angels should be in a 180 minimum preferably larger.

I agree--it isn't so much what you have as what you have it in. That list in a 55 is outrageous--especially long term. In a 125, well, you'll need to upgrade, but you've got a bit of time. In a 500--add some more, that place is empty.

Just noticed---if you have detectable ammonia, you have problems. Ammonia, Nitrites should NEVER be detectable. The ammonia is damaging the gills and threatening everything in the tank. I wouldn't add anything until the ammonia was zeroed.
