Filtration often depends on stock levels and bioload. If you want cichlids, be it african or SA/CA, over-filtration is the key. Puffers, loaches, discus and any messy eater will require this as well. For example... I have a 75 gal tank with 7 fish in it. I run an AC70, AC110 and Fluval 405. Decide that you want to keep first, then ask people on here for what type of filtration is necessary. Just my opinion.
