Aqadvisor.com says my tank is overstocked, what do you guys think? I have a 100 gal with lots of plants and a 30 gal sump filled with seachem matrix. I do weekly 30% water changes, but I do have some trouble with keeping my nitrates low.
Overstocked?

Having trouble keeping nitrates below 20ppm on a daily basis is a sign of being overstocked

Okay. That's what I figured. There is a lot of stuff it didn't take into account. The advice on fish species seemed mostly accurate though.
I literally was reading one of your posts earlier today and was wondering where you went, glad to see you popped your head back in.
As others have pointed, aqadvisor is a rough guide at best. Your stocking looks good to me, it looks to not be over stocked fish wise.

Stock looks good to me. Bump the waterchange to 50-70% weekly. This will allow u to add more bichirs, hehe
Hi! ?? Yeah... I guess I'm most active when I'm panicking over something haha. I am getting 3 ropes for my birthday tomorrow and wanted to make sure they'd be okay before I introduced them.
To 60%? I should also mention that none of my fish are full grown. My biggest is 7"
Okay. So more water changes or bigger water changes or both?
