i consider overstocking to be when there is not enough room for the fish to comfortably live. the ag department at my school has a 10g tank w/ a dozen 3/4" comets, about half a dozen guppies and some ghost shrimp. there is 2~2.5" of play sand(looks nice, i'm going to try it in my next tank) and a bunch of anachris and everything is filtered by a fluval 1plus of 2plus, i think it's a 2plus. the tank looks clean the fish healthy at the moment so i'd rate it at slightly overstock, in a couple weeks when the comets grow at all it's going to go to hell. i don't usually consider filtration when determining stocking levels because it's pretty easy to tailor your filtration system to your needs, i still remember a guy who had a nano reef tank(i think it was like 20g) that he had hooked up to a 40g sump and 30g refugium and another guy who had a 5.5g display and a 10g sump.
