The only problem with that is bioload. I don't think that I can add another school. Maybe I could add two more loaches.

My problem is trying to find a balance between the scavengers and algae cleaners and their bio load. What combo would you do? I was trying to maximize effeciency by adding shrimp and nerites since they have less bio loads.
