I wanna know your opinion on if you think my tank is overstocked... It's drilled 110 so basically around 90 gallons (I'm not using a sump currently)... Current stock is 1 geo altifrons 7-8", 4 clown loaches 2 6-7" 2 3", 4 vieja synspila 4", 1 blood parrot 2", one syno. Ornatipinnus hybrid 2"... Filtration is 2 2217's... Also when 2 vieja pair up I'll be giving away the other 2, and I'm currently trying to give away the altifrons because he's def not happy... And finally this setup will be moved to a 150 in a couple months when I find a nice tank on craigslist, and my 5 IT's will get this tank... If you read this far thanks and here's a video of the tank

Your well within the 1 inch per gallon guideline right now and you have sufficient filtration setup too. Though i don't know the adult size's of all your fish you might or with some quick web research you would.
If you want to check this out its a tank calculator that help you out too.

I saw you vid i think some plants and substrate would break up the tank and make it feel less crowded.
 
Right now I would say you are OK. But it would be overstocked later. As long as you move fish around when the time comes you'll be fine.
 
Even after you get rid of 2 of the viejas, its still gonna be overstocked. Right now its fine but down the road it will need that 150 you are looking for. Make sure it is a 150 long, not the the 4 foot one.
 
Yeah I'm just waiting for a nice tank and stand for a good price to show up... Someone come take the altifrons, it's freeeeeeeeee... Central nj.... Oh and I don't like substrate and the setup is plain because it's only temporary
