I have a 125 gallon tank that I'm trying to fill up beyond maximum stock levels with african cichlids (triple the maximum recommended). I know water quality is a big problem, so I want to set two fluval fx5 canister filters to it (each supposedly handles 400 gallons of water, so 800 gallons altogether). I also want to set up a 200 gallons sump tank in the basement to greatly increase the actual amount of water being used. So apart from the quality of water in this tank, what other problems should I worry about when overstocking?
