Hello fellow marine hobbyist,

I would like to know whether my current basic setup can keep up with the bio load?

Tank size: 4x2x2 with 25-30kgs of Caribbsea rock 

Sump: 3x1.5x1.5

Skimmer: BM C7

Bio Media: 2 cubes of marine pure 8x8x3

palm size macro algae in sump 

No mechanical filter

Dosing bio digest n bioptim every 10 days during water change (2 big pails)

Water parameter: Nitrate 10ppm, phosphate undetectable using salifert.

Fishes:

5 clowns, 3 anthias, 1 Atlantic blue and 1 yellow tang, 1 flame and 1 Koran angel and 7 chromis. Around 15 LPS and Soft corals.

Thinking of adding 2 mandarin 2 wrasse in near future. Thanks in advance for your kind comments and advices.

Thanks Ken and PCW for your reply. It's more assuring after your reading your opinion and advise. 

Seem like I can't add mandarin as my current chromis and tang is also eating the copepods. I do have plenty of amphipods but they only come out from rock after light off.

Btw, There is some Dino in DT and 2 small patches of cyano in the sump. I am struggling whether to add a reactor to reduce phosphate as i want my tank to be as simple as possible. Any advise?
