Getting a great deal on a 46 bowfront assuming it works out tonight. I know the tank comes with a filter but not sure which one and I'm not super worried about. I've always been partial to the aquaclear line as I've had good luck with them. Should I do two AC 50s or 70s? I like the thought of two 50s so its a little closer to the wall but love the idea of the increased capacity of the 70s. My plan is a few smaller SA/CA cichlids and a pictus or two so it shouldn't too crowded.

Welcome to MFK :) Depending on the species personally a 110 work or 2 50's to cover each corner.
 
I don't want to do a 110 because of the amount of space needed behind the wall. Thanks for the welcome. I've been around a while. Trying to sort out my old profile.
