I got into tanga. My opinion for you is to keep max at 25 to 30 depends on size, decide what you want to keep. Filtration must be overpower, what are you using currently?

I'm definitely pushing my limits on fishes at the moment. I have 27 fish inside right now ranging from 2" to 4" Monitoring closely on the tank water parameters and currently they are:
NH3 0ppm
NO2 0 ppm
NO3 between 40~80ppm
For filtration, I'm running:
1. Dophin C-1000 canister that is giving out 1650L/hr (on paper) with 3 trays of media (Biohome Plus media, Ceramic Rings and Sponge). This came as a set when I purchased this tank.
2. Powerhead with Biohome Plus media and sponge on the right side of the tank. This is mainly to push the water to the canister intake on the left.
3. Trying out the K1 media as well. Can't tell if it's working well or not at the moment as the water chemistry is still within control.
On top of that, my water change regime is pretty harsh as well. 1 do it about twice a week taking out about 30% each time. Trying to maintain the NO3 round 40ppm.
