Default Adding fish?

I am interested in purchasing 3 fish for my 150 gallon tank. I just solved my nitrite problem (it's down to 0) and the tank is thriving now. Would adding 3 fish be too much? The site I am looking to order the fish from offers free shipping over $200. I would like to save that $50. The fish sizes are 4", 5" in two tiny clown fish.

Default Re: Adding fish?

HI
Personally I would just put the 2 clowns in first, give it a coulpe of weeks just to see how things go and then add an other.
They say that each fish added will genarely require 20% more bactira to cope with the extra waste. Stock slowly its the only way. Its hard when your starting out but speak to anyone and they'll say the samething.
Good luck!!
