I was wondering if a overly stock tank and affect the ph? I seen someone with a 150g and two fx5 filters and with like 16-18 large fish around 6+inches and a 17inch arowana , will the ph be lower or higher in this situation ?

Likely to be lower.
 
Lower because the organic waste in the system is creating more hydrogen ions.
 
Lower or higher than what? It all depends on the alkalinity of their water, and the frequency & size of their water changes. Certainly organic waste will push the pH value down, but that can easly be resolved via an influx of fresh water.
 
You already have the correct answer - what more help do you need?
 
Just change water big and often, non issue.
 
Really also depends on your water hardness if and how much of a pH change you see at the end.

Alkalinity is the measure of the acid neutralizing capacity of a body of water.
