I am picking up a new 39 g. saltwater tank that has been setup for the last 5 years. It has 30 lbs. live rock and the following fish:

1 yellow tail damsel
1 false percula clownfish
1 engineer goby
1 emerald crab
1 shimp (not sure of type)
several turbo snails

What I'm wondering is can any other fish be added to this setup or is it at it's max? If anything can be added, what would you recommend (type and number)?

Also, any tips on moving this aquarium? I'll be taking a cooler on wheels with me and loading rock and water in to it, but want to cause as little stress to the fish as possible. It's about 30 minutes away from my home.

Thanks for your help!

You can still add some fish to that tank. As to what, this is up to you. I would add 1 more perc clown to try and get a mated pair. Just make sure to get one that is smaller then the one you allready have.

As for moving the tank. The ice chest for the rock is ok, I would use a bucket with a battery opperated air pump with stone to use in the bucket. That should work just fine. Just make sure to remove everything from the tank. You don't want to cause any stress on the tank with having weight in it while moving it. This can weeken seems and seals and cause it to leak for fail.

When you set teh tank back up use 2/3 of the old water and the rest new water, and be sure to aclimate your fish into the tank once everything has settled down.

Good Luck.
