If it was me, I would replace the XP1 instead of the AC, and replace it with either an Eheim 2217 or an XP3.

Or better yet build yourself a DIY overflow and wet/dry, the extra bio capacity really helps with overstocked tanks.

I would recommend switching the XP1 out for a Eheim 2217. Leave the ac110, as they are really good filters for mechanical.

I like the AC500 but its pretty loud and I cant fill the tank up to the top (landlord/grandfather)
So of the filters listed what would you recommend? Im trying to stay under $100

If you want to just replace the AC110, then I'd say add an eheim 2217 (best bang for your buck). I strongly recommend against doing this though.
