Greetings all, recently i’ve been reading up on some older threads and forums on how bioload of a fish is calculated and with that, all the nuances of filtration. commonly thrown around is the gold fish for example which has a much larger bioload per “inch” due to its habits of eating much more than what you feed and you can see. Is bioload an actual calculation that’s made when regarding specific fish species or is it more dependent on your filtration? For example i run two fx6s for my 250g and though the label on fluval products states its able to take in 400g~, i’m unsure to the limit in which the fx6 can handle. is there any set way to measure and or quantify how much bioload a fish would produce and how much your tank and filters can take before your ammonia becomes uncontrollable?
