Happy B-Day

Are you 39 yet?

Can you score an AC110 instead of the 200 more flow for not much more cash.

If you had the room, now wood be a great time to start work on a W/D for the 75g and use it on the 40g to gat it right. Cheap too. Check out http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=409462#post409462

and it you want ot start smaller, kuda built one I just can't find the link right now.

Something to think about.

One can never have too much filtration . I have a large wet/dry that I built, 2 Aquaclear 500's and an eheim canister on my 125. The AC500's handle most of the fish gunk, while the wet/dry handles biofiltration and gas exchange. The Eheim is just so I can keep the filter running and the bacteria alive.

so should i get one ac 500 and keep the ac 200 both on the tank

 

[large_cichlids]

or should i get a magnum canister filter to go with the ac 200

I would just go with an AC500 for the 40, use ur AC200 for a backup filter....

I run a magnum 350 on my 40B its a heavily planted/stocked tank and the mag works great but I could use a supplement
