I also posted this in the cichlid forum, but since its a tank setup, I figured I might get a faster response here. I'm going to see what kind of deal I can get this afternoon.
My mother has 4-5 assorted african cichlids, and my dad has decided to get her a full setup tank for christmas. Between my dad and I, we're trying to get her everything to make a beautiful setup for her fish. We have the tank picked out, but I don't know what sort of filtration etc. to get.
Tank: 42 Hex by Oceanic
The plan: Coral type substrate and coral reef decorations.
The Question: What filtration do you recommend, and is there anything else I need?
