Same here. I am way overstocked but also overfiltered.
Just two peacock bass puts my 135 @ 107% but the filtration level is 352%
I need a 500 Gallon tank
It appears I need a bit more filtration 
only 75% with only 5 fish
Well back to the drawing board
Good thing this is a project in the works....

You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.
Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 139%.
Recommended water change schedule: 7% per week.

I have a 10 gal filter on a 20 gal tank, but I only have two fish. A Dwarf Gourami and a Stickleback. They don't have Sticklebacks in the list though, so I just put in 2x Gourami. I had 3 Sticklebacks at first but only one made the transition to my tank. Between all the empty water, a plant, and my cat helping me with a 2g water change a week (from drinking all the water) I should be in good shape.
P.S.
All-inclusive rooms in Saint Lucia are currently as low as $109 per person.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 695% of your aquarium space.
Recommended water change schedule: 49% per week.
(You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 28% per week)
For the time being all my fish are under 5" except for the large eel.
Who definitely needs a bigger tank, good thing is I'm running 2 filters, and water changing every 2 days.

I too used it to figure out my stocking. It obviously uses a 1 foot clown loach in it's calculation and uses foot print not gallons to determine your stocking capacity.
1 oscar (12inch) 5 clowns (4-6 inches) in a 90 = 168% overstocked.
I'm upgrading in the next 6 months to a 6 foot tank. and it didn't matter if I had 125 or 150 I was still 108% stocked.

Note: You have selected mbuna species. These species in general, need to be overstocked to control aggression (over 100% stocking level). Make sure your filtration is sufficient and keep up with water changes. [SIZE=-1](Read more about beginner mbuna species here)[/SIZE].
Warning: At least 5 x Bumble Bee Cichlid are recommended in a group.
Warning: At least any combination of 5 are recommened from (Pseudotropheus Estherae, Red Zebra) as they will shoal together.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 160% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus, Vieja synspila, Hemichromis bimaculatus, Cichlasoma Salvini, Placidochromis milomo, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, Andinoacara rivulatus, Rocio octofasciatum) or get a larger tank.
Warning: Water temperature requirements are not fully compatible between all selected species.

Note: You have selected mbuna species. These species in general, need to be overstocked to control aggression (over 100% stocking level). Make sure your filtration is sufficient and keep up with water changes. [SIZE=-1](Read more about beginner mbuna species here)[/SIZE].
Warning: At least 5 x Bumble Bee Cichlid are recommended in a group.
Warning: At least any combination of 5 are recommened from (Pseudotropheus Estherae, Red Zebra) as they will shoal together.
Warning: Your selected species may eventually require 160% of your aquarium space. You may need to deal with territorial aggressions later on. Try removing some of (Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus, Vieja synspila, Hemichromis bimaculatus, Cichlasoma Salvini, Placidochromis milomo, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, Andinoacara rivulatus, Rocio octofasciatum) or get a larger tank.
