Thank you for reading my post and hopefully help me with our new venture. I am not new to freshwater aquariums but I am new to the Cichlid world. I have a 110 gal. aquarium, tank measures 48" long x 31" high x 18" wide.
Some ideas for equipment:
Knowing all that - is the equipment appropriate? overkill? I don't want to spend a small fortune but aI lso want to make sure my investment in Cichlids will be healthy. I do have a Rena XP3 canister filter, but the reviews weren't good it is brand new, so I wouldn't mind using that instead of Fluval FX4, but I read and loved the reviews of the FX4.
Do I need another filter, such as a Fluval aquaclear 110 or will the Fluval Fx4/Rena XP3 be sufficient?
Now I'm open and interested in your thoughts and comments (please be gentle).
What am I missing in equipment? What type of Cichlids should I look at starting with, I was thinking American Cichlids?
Thank you,
John
