In my 52" X 30" X 24" tank i have added a few more fish, i have 2 fluval 4 plus filters running in my tank, i've also given a few fish away so now my current stock is:-

1 Flying fox, 3 clowloach, 2 yo yo loach, 2 kuhli loach, 2 bolivian rams, 1 dwarf cockatoo cichlid, 2 dwarf gouramis, 3 guppys, 3 platys, 5 neons, 4 harlequin rasboras, 1 clown sucker plec, 4 glowlight tetras, 1 betta, 2 killifish, 4 corydoras, 3 rainbow fish, 2 swordtails, 2 sailfin mollies.

Even though some people would say that my tank is overstocked, there are plenty of hiding places and swimming space and my fish seem happy and the ammonia levels are always stable, the clowns are 4" at the moment, they look fine in the tank as well, but does anyone have any opinions on this setup of mine?
 
Yes my ammonia levels are always mainly 0 at times it goes up to 0.1 but they never go above that and the nitrite and nitrate levels are always stable as well.

Those dimensions don't match the volume in your sig.

If ammonia is showing either you are getting ammonia from chloramine or you are overstocked/underfiltered.
 
It's only very occassionally that the ammonia goes upto 0.1, 99% of the time it is on 0, i have 2 fluval 4+ plus filters running in my tank, i wouldnt say i was overstocked, my dad has kept tropical fish for 30 years and he thinks my tank setup is ok, i just wanted some opinions from people on here.
