enough filtration?

[Monster_Ronster]

Im upgrading from a 75gal to a 210gal and plan on using 2 magnum 350s, 1 ac500, and 1 penguin 400. I plan on stocking with 2 oscars, 1 midas, 1 texas and probably 3 more large cichlids later on. Is this enough filtration for this tank?
Thanks

if I were you I would scrap the odds and ends filtration system and just build a simple DIY wet/dry...in the end it will be cheaper as you will only have to power one pump and wont have to buy all these different filters and media etc.

Save the filters for the rest of the tanks you will inevitably be setting up in the near future for the fish that you "Need to have"

Have you bought all those already?
A large canister and a sump would be a lot better, and probably less maintenance.

yeah thats not an abbreviation...

its a seperate tank under your main tank that water drains down into, and it then flows through filter media (lots of biomedia, usually) then it is pumped back into the main tank. Its the best for biological filtration.
