Aquarium Advice Addict
We all know that there really isn't such a thing as "over filtration" as long as your fish are not blown all over the tank.
Once your filtration is sorted you can add a flowmaker or powerhead to increase the flow. Infact many Malwai cichlids live in the wave washed rocky habitat. They will appreciate the flow and in the aquarium they can be seen playing in the current.
Playing in the current as well as a high stocking rate may help contain agression issues. If they are distracted there is less time for fighting.
Here is a video that shows the type of current that they live in.
