So I have a 55 gallon mbuna tank that right now doesn't have much fish. I currently have...
2 yellow labs(Labidochromis caeruleus)
2 Powder blues(Pseudotropheus socolofi)
3 Red zebras(Metriaclima estherae)
1 Synodontis decorus
1 bristle nose pleco
All my fish are 2inches and under and are very healthy. I plan to had alot more fish. Right now I have a rena filstar xp2 on the tank. I figure that will last them a while before I have to get another filter but I want to get another filter ASAP. I might add another rena filstar If I can but anybody know of a good power filter I can use? I wanted to put mechanical filteration in the power filter and chemical and biological filteration in the canister.

I would add a AC110. I dont run any chemical filtration (carbon) and I dont have any problems.
