I have just built a 48x42 220 gallon tank now i need to filter it. I was wondering if 2 ac 110 would be good enough for a heavily stocked african tank ?

How tall is it.?
Edit: nevermind you said 220gal.... 2 ac110's prolly wouldn't be enough for a heavily stocked tank.. you'd be better off with 2 fx5's.. or a sump and a fx5, or maybe even a sump and an ac110... or jsut one really large sump.. but to answer your question, no, 2 ac110's will prolly not give you enough filtration

Two Aquaclear 110s would be rated for 220 gallons combined. I've never known any manufacturer to rate their filters for a heavily stocked tank. They usually overestimate the size of aquarium they can filter. I don't think 2 aquaclear 110s would come close to filtering a heavily stocked african cichlid tank. I'd suggest 2 fx5s or a good sump and an fx5.
I have read that the 110 are for 150 gallon tanks so i thought that it would handel that . Thanks for the info!
I always like the combo of HOBs and Canisters. But that's just me. i'd run 2 110s and two large canisters. But that's me.
That wouldn't be enough in my opinion...on my 220 I have a sump/cfs700 canister/AC110 filter. I just like the combination and my tank stays clean with the current stock list in my signature. Doing the weekly water changes will help with any option you go with.
