Thanks I was worried flow would be too fast. We'll see what we come out with!
You can aim the out flow toward the tank so against the wall so to speak you can out a rock or ornament to break the flow but yeah cichlids need a lot of filtration
Canister filters are vary easy to set and up and maintain
Awesome thanks. Hope so! When I put up te canister does it take media? Can I add media from my other filter to it or will I be on adding the new filter with new media since it's an established tank? Sorry thanks tho!
Yes it should have 3 or 4 chambers for media if you have any unused media use that I would not use anything it came with because you don't know what that media might have. If you don't have any spare buy new bio balls the mesh that's goes inside and let it cycle on its own keep the old filter running if I were you I keep them both. I think you mean adding media from your existing filter to your new filter mmmm that might work. Still I would add new media your tank is established so it should cycle the filter pretty fast
