Ok my bad i went back to the aquacalculator and put the actual size of the fish and it makes more sense..... here we go

220g
1 x 24 inches asian arowana
2 x 5 inches siamesse tigerfish
5 x 3 inches siamesse tigerfish
1 x 14 inches pignosed turtle
Warning: You should add more aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 75%.

It did not take my turtle into acount cuz i cant find a listing for it .

and my other tank 150g

1-RTG 6 inches
1-super red 3 inches
1-HBRTG 4 inches
You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Thank you great site. i need a new filter for my big tank maybe i will just grab one of the old ones

Warning: Common Pleco is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 18 inches.
Warning: Clown Knife is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 36 inches.

Your aquarium stocking level is 442%.

How big is your CK? If you ever need to part with it, give me a holler. What part of Orlando are you in? I'm in Longwood.

I was going to shoot for the most overstocked tank but I think you have me beat. I have larger tanks but with bigger fish.

(My Common Pleco is 22" and I had some that were 24".)

The only question I have is it states I need more filtration capacity but I know guppies don't like a lot of movement so I'm confused of what I should do there

Except for HOB's, increased 'filtration' doesn't really mean increased flow. You can add a sponge filter and not increase your flow at all.

55g it's a growout.

I might be parting with a 360g. I have the sump designed for saltwater though (but not too late to taylor it).

Agree or disagree? Feedback please.

Never came back to this thread after initially posting so here you go, feedback for you sir. I am re-doing my new stock with my old tanks and I am entering an underrated canister (fluval 405) instead of my wet/dry which is much better.


Tank: 220g (FX5/50 gallon sump with 600GPH T/O)
Stocklist:
x6 Acarichthys Heckelii
x3 Geophagus Abalios (chose geophagus surinamensis because of size)
x1 Crenicichla Saxitilis cf. aff. 'Demerara' (chose crenicichla sp. xingu for size)

Notes: Thank you for adding Acarichthys Heckelii and a pike cichlid. I agree with stocking levels but do disagree for filtration/WC schedule. I change 40% once per week to stay below 20ppm nitrate. The FX5 is rated for a 400g tank on the site, I do not think anyone on MFK would run one FX5 on a 400g tank as we know it could not handle it alone which throws off the percentage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 292%.
Recommended water change schedule: 15% per week.
Your aquarium stocking level is 67%.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tank: 125g (FX5/HOT Magnum)

Stocklist:
x5 Satanoperca Mapiritensis (chose geophagus jurupari even though there is no such fish, it would be Satanoperca Jurupari)
x9 Geophagus sp. 'Tapajos' (chose geophagus steindachneri because of size)

Notes: I agree with stocking even though most the fish are juvinile but disagree with filtration (point above) & WC schedule. I change 20% three times per week to keep nitrate below 20ppm.

Looks like I may need to increase the WC factor for those species since bioload level is ok. As for the filtration - although FX5 is rated for 400g, I am only using 65% of the rated number when I calculate the filtration %. Your number looks generous because your stocking level is also quite a bit less than 100%. As you fill up your tank towards 100% stocking level, your filtration capacity will also go down towards 100%.
