Here are the results for my 55 with a single GT,and 2 Emperor 400

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 997%.
Recommended water change schedule: 6% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 32%
And what was your expectation?

Remember, bioload and aggression space requirements are two different things.

Thanks.

Hah, only added in about a fourth of the fish in my 46 and it told me I had too much and they would outgrow my tank...

It's not even overstocked. I've had it up and running with no problems for more than four years now.

Can you please post your species list along with the tank dimension?

I suspect this is once again, due to profile sites being too generous with their fully grown up sizes.

Thanks.

Is that Lima Shovelnose catfish? If that is the case, I can add it.

As for the fluidized bed filters, I don't think I can add that anytime soon. Need to think about how to quantify filtration capacities for such type of filters.

Yes I built the site from scratch.

Thanks for the link.

And yes, you can increase # of filters to infinite by clicking on "Add a filter" link. :)
