An AQ 110 on a 75 g is only 6.6 times the turnover. And when they test gph turnover on filters they do so without any media or sponges whatsoever on filters. So you can pretty much count on the gph being cut almost in 1/2 once you put media in the filters (to be on the safe side). So unless you're keeping small tropical fish I'd say it's not near enough filtration. IMO.

Wouldn't you need to know the stock of the tank to make that conclusion
What if all he has is a 18" jardini in the 300g tank? The AC110, two emp 400s and the UV sterilizer would be more then effective.

You guys always get hung up on the GPH. The AC110 does fine on my 75g which has housed a RD pair 8 & 11" and about 250 fry that are 1/2" for the last 10 weeks. Previous to that it had anywhere between 5 to 10 5" cichlids in it, never and issue with ammonia or nitrites. The weekly rise of nitrates has been 20 to 30 ppm with the RDs.
I'm allowed an opinion last I checked.
That's 4.3 gph turnover (with NO media in the filters since that's how they're tested). in my opinion a 1 1/2 foot long fish would need more than that in gph turnover.
