The fact that it is a skimmerless system will not hamper the amount of fish just the way you add them to the system.

you will have your bouts with algea, dont stop feeding just because of this your tank will need to get used to it ( The tank will need lots of time to figure out what to do with all the excess nutrients)

harvest the macro's in handfulls



have fun!

PS
sounds like a great tank!

I'm not sure about the foot print on your 65 but it looks like you could use at least another 100 pound of sand.........Since your tank is skimmerless a deep sand bed will help a lot.
