according to that calculator I am way over stocked and have been for years. Last time I was able to count them we had over 200 fish all different sizes. The water tests, when I do them, are always perfect.

But you have excellent filtration -- I think that's the big factor.

True true, one huge bog, sucks all that bad stuff out of the pond.
