It all depends on the amount of stock. Most people's filtration is at least 10 times the tanks capacity/hour for a normally stocked tank. Mbuna are normally overstocked a bit to cut down on aggression and produce quite a bit of waste. I would suggest placing the circulation pump so that it blows waste from behind rockwork to make cleaning easier.

Thanks. Yes this was my plan. I'm gonna place the spray bar and circulation pump on the left side of the tank. And have the inflows of two out of three filters on the right to pick up any particles IE waste. I just thought maybe the wouldn't like all the current. But have heard the are just fine with it.
