my LFS said a Fluval 406 is suitable for a 135 gal tank... although it says its only rated up to 100 gallons. is this true?

I have a fluval 405 & 205 on my 135 and adding a ehiem 2215 because I feel I its enough. Do I would do no it's not enough. When in doing over filtrate.

What are you putting in it?

For how long? maybe work for year. All those fish get way to big for that tank. Also, huge bio load.

yes I understand this, and at that time I will decide to get a larger tank or sell them back to LFS or someone. I only had a 10 g, 30 g, and 55 g tanks and realized I liked these type of fish and purchased a 135 now id like to get it running asap.
