1 AC 110 enough for malawi tanks

It should be enough to handle the load. I generally like more than one filter but more of a personal preference.
AC 110 = Aqua clear 110 (old 500), I assume. I think they are rated up to 100 gallons.
I think it is also 500 gph but I may be wrong...[FONT=arial, helvetica]

500GPH peak is correct, rated up to 110G (supposedly). I run these on 2 55s, but believe in redundancy (and overkill) so I also have XP3s on them.

There is a stargate in my aquarium.
My preference would be two, but that's because I believe in backup, in case one filter fails when the pet store is closed. (Which, by a law of the universe, is always when that happens. :mad2
If you don't want two HOB filters, a canister would make a nice complement to the AC110 you already have. :idea:

I would definately go with a canister/hob combo on a Malawi tank.....thats my personal prefrence.
well let me tell you the full story.....right now my 55 has an AC 70 but only about 5 small cichlids....... i will be adding about 8-10 more and i found the AC 110 for $45 each so i was going to get 1 (or 2) for my 55 and use the AC 70 on my planted tank....so every one thinks i should go ahead and spring for 2? or skip them all together and go for a canister? anything good in about the same price range?
