Last weekend the wife and I bought an 80 gallon bow front with the intentions of upgrading our guppy we had in a 2.5 gallon tank, and then starting a community tropical tank. With that in mind, I also purchased a Fluval 406 canister filter. No sooner did I cycle the tank and put the little guppy in, did the wife change her mind. She would like to wait til the guppy dies (or put him back in his little tank) and start a cichlid tank.
My dilema now is will the Fluval 406 be sufficient for a cichlid tank, or should I go through the PITA process of returning the 406 in favor of the Fluval FX5 / FX6?
Also, how many cichlids do you recommend for an 80G bow front?
The tank dimensions are:
48" L x 12.5" W x 27" H
