Is my tank properly filtered?

[BushFishRox]

I was wondering if I have enough filtration for my tank?

It is a 220 with a wet/dry running at about 700GPH w/ 120 pot scrubbies and the sump running has 36x18x12 inces of water so the overall volume is about 250gals.

I am also running a Fluval FX5 top tray pre-filter other 2 trays are bio-max as well as one of my AC110's but it is just running foam.

My stock is as follows:

1 AT Datnoid
5 IT Datnoids
1 Leopard Ctenopoma
1 Flag Tail
1 Silver Aro
8 Red Hooks
2 Apollo Sharks*
1 Common Pleco*(maxed out at 11"s)

* = Willing to rehome
So do you think I have enough filtration?

Sounds great man. I am around 1000GPH on the sump and an FX-5 but lacking the ac110. Sounds perfect!! Nice job

The best way to find out is to test your water. If ammonia and nitrite are 0 shortly after feeding, then it's good enough.

Damn, I have a smaller tank and more fish and an FX5 and Eheim 2028 are more than capable. I'd say you're in great shape.
