African Filter Recommendation

[fishfool58]

I have a biowheel 330 with my 75 gallon tank, my stock will be a couple BNP, 5 Yellow Labs, 5 Red Zebras, 5 Mainganos, & 5 Hara. They are about an inch now, will be getting them soon, I'm sure the 330 biowheel will be fine for a while, but I feel it will need to be upgraded, or something else added on, which would be the best route? A new hob filter to join or replace or maybe a canister filter(new to these)?

Canister would be the way to go IMHO. I run a Fluval fx5 and a AC110 on my 75g African Cichlid tank.

I also run a power head to help keep debris from settling on the substrate.

Definitely gonna need more filtration.

Canister filters are the way to go.

I'm still trying to position that power head just right for the debris, so would an ac110 + my bio 330 work?

I think the AC110 would be enough.

I can't find a DIY I really like but if you just Google freshwater aquarium sumps a ton will come up. You can look in my profile pictures to see mine. There are also a ton of ways to make them

Well if I got the ac110, I'd keep my biowheel running.. & okay, thanks!

I have a 75 gallon cichlid tank and I'm running 2 marineland emperor 400s and they are great. I just need a hand on picking a power head or two just for some circulation around the tank any advice?

You got rid of the other ac110?
