Should I add more filtration?

[jakezori]

I have a 90 gallon with a magnum 350 and a knock off eheim (350 gallons/h).

Stock is currently different than what it is going to be, so here is what it is going to be:

8" jaguar cichlid

7" pike cichlid

5" pleco

6" green terror

maybe 1 more cichlid


...

I am tempted to get a penguin 400 and maybe something to keep the flow rate up so I can see my fishies swim =)

Thoughts?

How long are you planning on having them in this 90g?

Emperor 400 would be perfect. You can never have too much turnover. in most cases..

I have a 90g too with 2 aquaclear 110s keeps the tank pretty clear probably going to buy a eheim 2075 soon

I would just get a FX5. Canisters are good for mixing your bio, mech, and so on. You always can adjust to your certain needs in a canister.

Depends on your levels. If anything, AC 110 is better than penguin 400 .

Oh no, please don't start debating.

E 400 is easier to maintenance and I already have a lot of filtration

hayn, im not spending more than 50 bucks, plus I already have a canister that I can mod.

I see. I had 2x emp 400's on my 90gal before. Just didn't like it to much....it did the job, but I just don't like the waterfall sound and having to buy the cartridges and so on. The bio wheel would stop turning and all. I think for the best bang for the buck, try cascade 300 HOB.
