keepin softies can be a challenge too...
mushrooms do come in lotsa colors n types too...

Thank you clownfish for your useful advises, I will go DIY a T5 HO lightset for my tank. Meanwhile will use an AC fan to cool the tank.

Will be cheaper if you getting DC fan , go Sim Lim tower, look for those 90mm or 120mm type (either 0.20 amp or greater type, but the higher the amp/power the noiser it get) , and get a 1000mah AC-DC adaptor.

I think the DC fan is around $8, the adaptor should be less than $10.

Hi bros, need some advice on fishes now. I don't know if it'll be overstocking.
Here's a list of fishes I intend to keep

Currently the only LS in my tank are
2x green chromis
1x carpet anemone

Intended list:
3x green chromis
1x cleaner shrimp
1x blue tang
1x blenny or gobie
2x anthias (possible?)

Anthias needs quite alot of feeding, so they can be quite taxing on the filtration system. I would recommend an upgrade on the skimmer.

Apart from this, the list(excluding the 2anthias) looks ok to me and it should be quite a comfortable bioload.

yup.. i agree with Kalib. Anthias are really big eaters.... Got 7 in my tank now and they really eat a lot....

Blue Tang should be fine when its still small... but it grows very quickly... might need to do something about it when it grow too big for your tank... apart from that... the bioload looks good..

Side-track a bit.... Kalib POP already?

When your tank crash(OS crash), its time to cleanup(reformat hard drive) and setup(install OS) again and add new livestock(re-install software).
