nah, not really... define "overloaded"... AFAIK, overloaded means too many

for the biologics... i've never had any problems with disease or biologics... at that time, there were only the two fish in the tank... they started in
that
tank when they are toddlers only about as long as your thumb ;)
I have a 29 gallon crammed full of African Ciclids... and I mean
FULL.... I've had some comment on how can I have that many fish without nitrite and ammonia problems. It's simple... underneath the tank is a
20 gallon set up as a wet/dry trickle filter... two Magnum 300's and on
the back I have the largest Penguin emporer back filter on the tank
(says it's good for a 70 gallon tank).
With all of that I do have a good undergravel system too.
You can extend the load... and when I say they are crowded in there,
they are crowded. It's the only way to keep them non aggressive and
it's very beautiful to watch a very active tank. When they are crowded
they show a lot more color too.
