Agreed.
What I would call overfeeding is how public aquariums keep tons of the same fish and different kinds fish in one tank. All those fish are chunky. To handle the heavy feeding, public aquariums use huge filtration equipment, like sand filters, de-nitrification units, UV Sterilizers and huge skimmers. Tileman/Brads tank here in Murray is a good example of what I'm suggesting regarding equipment similar to a public aquarium.
In a 120 gal tank, heavy feeding of a light population of fish can be handled by some or all of these:
1- growing extra biofiltration in the form of: A.) good lively LR with sponge, tunicates and worms, B.) LS packed with bugs and worms, and C.) a well lighted Refugium full of Chaetomorpha and LR rubble or a sand bed;
2- Using a big Skimmer and a UV Sterilizer;
All these things process extra pollution from heavy feeding.
