i have just got rid of a blue ringed angel so my stock has dropped slightly and it will prob drop more in time!!

I have to say this mate and without being offensive you are massively overstocked. You will certainly have to remove some stock at some point as they grow. Keeping that many in 260ltrs can not be good for the fish tbh.

I have,

1. Yellow tang
2. onespot foxface
3. 2 azure damsels
4. Scooter blenny
5. Perc clown
6. 3 Lyretail anthias.

In a 4x2x2 and that is almost enough i think. I might get a couple small gobies or a firefish or something but no more big fish.
The more fish you have the harder it is to look after.

However i have a 350L fowlr tank which is overstocked with a 5inch orbicular burrfish and a 7 inch immaculate puffer, but i will be upgrading to a 6/7x2x2 very soon.

I've done a probably with Roger on this as two of my tanks are fine and one isn't

My Osaka 155 is overstocked technically speaking.
I have
2 watchman gobies
1 hifin red banded goby + shrimp
1 true perc clown
3 blue eye cardinals
1 possum wrasse
1 pink scooter blenny

Plus cuc.

Weekly 15% water changes and MCE600 skimmer back on. A few small coral frags at present. It's a somewhat taller tank so surface area is smaller. It's been running since early 2009 and the only issue has been the murdering xenia

My Vision 180 just has 4 fish -
1 blue cheek goby
1 valentini toby puffer
1 coral beauty
1 skunk clown

Small cuc.
Leather corals and softies. MCE300 skimmer and 15% weekly water changes.

The 25L coldwater just has beadlet nems so it's ok so far
