Well I have a 7 week old future MFK'er and I am having less and less time for tanks. I currently have running

220- H. Bocourti, H. Pearsei, Green severum, FM, Convict, HRP pair, GT, Gourami, SD, flagtail, L001, L190, L052, and my 2' fire eel.

36 bow- Festae and BN pair

And a 15g colomn fowlr (baby's room) clown and damsel

The 2 smaller tanks are a breeze its the over stocked 220 thats killing me.

I'm thinking of loosing the:

FM, Con, GT, Gourami, SD and the HRP pair. My question is how much of a difference do you guys think this will make on my bioload?
 
I'll take your hrp pair to help you thin out your stock :)

Sure thing, just come pick them up! But seriously I guess I'm trying top start with getting rid of the "common" fish. The green severum is my wife's favorite fish. I love the bocourti and the pearsei. The flagtail is getting huge finally which is awesome. My GT is starring to turn into a stunner, but I could still part with him. The rest of the cichlids I have no attachment too. I want to keep the pleco's and the eel. All in all I'd be getting rid of over 30" of fish. Should make a pretty big difference, right?
 
Use that would make a huge difference. Less food less waist. Or keep them all and get more filtration.

Filtration is more than enough. It's just even with feeding every other day I still need 2x 60% wc to keep my nitrate under 40ppm. I'm also in the process of adding a ton of pothos though. I want to get down to 50% a week at most.
 
Do you have, or can you set up a drip system on the 220? That would be a huge time saver for you...
