I have a 300 gallon tank with 6 adult severums and 4 pcs 5 inch true parrot cichlids. I;m planning to move my 18 inch super red to this tank.
maybe together with 2 8 inch motoros. will my tank be overstocked?

Water change will be once every 2 week, maybe 30 - 40 %
filtration is 75 gallon sump, 55 gallon drum filter filled with scrubbies.
and 4 ft 2 layer overhead filter with 3 large sponge filters inside.

Can this work?

or do i have to get rid of some severums?
 
im no expert. i think it will work tho. definitely seems like you have alot of filtration going. ive definitely seen more heavily stocked 300's out there.
 
An 18" Super Red What?

lol i thought you meant severum :ROFL:
 
Doesn't sound overstocked, but what width is the tank, as the Motoros will eventually need a width of at least 36''.
