I’m having a tough time finding a tank. Found one of my old suppliers is still around. Planning on visiting them tomorrow or Saturday.
My wife wants Me to redo Our old mixed Cichlid tank.
Happy Wife, Happy life?
“We’re not going to have 1500 gallons worth of tanks again?”

I’m told it has filters to support a 200 gallon tank.
I always over filtered my tanks, back in the day. I have ordered a AC110, won’t be installed immediately.
Back in the day I ran 2 of those and an fx5, on a 180.
any suggestions on a FX filter for a 75?

Fx4 should do it. Depends on stocking. I've gotten away from canisters. Using sponge filters and wave makers.

I would do a pair of AC110S. I as well moved away from cannister due to them being a real PITA to clean. In the time it takes to clean an AC110, you just got the FX's hoses disconnected....

I was running three 125gal tanks, all were just AC110S. No issues at all from a single big fish, to raising young cichlids, to mixed community tank.
