If that's your total bio-load you should be ok...you may want to think about a powerhead to help with circulation.

Well this is a first...I can't find an english site for your filter 
!
Depending on media, manufacturer's slanted spec.s and which way the wind is blowing... there isn't much of a standard to the industry (biologically speaking).
With the wrong media in yours and the best in the FX5 the spec.s could look like that
. Flow is proportional to effective media / bio-load.
This is why I like building my own W/D's I just over-size to begin with

How comfortable do you want your fish?
If you have too many fish, even if they don't fight, the stress levels from trying to keep their own territories doesn't make for happy fish. I try to keep fish as they are in nature (some of these fish are very solitary).
I don't like an over-stocked tank, too busy when your watching it long term.

GJC, how long have you had all your fish together? (p.s. you need to update your tank pix
