I'm in the process of gathering supplies for my mbuna tank to be set up in Aug. I have an aquaclear 110 already. Would a second 110 be sufficient, or would I be better with a canister (rena XP3)? Would I notice a difference between the two?
2nd filter for 90g mbuna tank

- Start date
I have a magnum 350 canister and a penguin bio-wheel 350...Can never have to mucch filtering with those guys...i'd say stick with the aquaclear and get the rena too
If only money were no object....
So, if it were one or the other...go rena? Or can I get equal performance from the AC110 (and save 60 bucks)?

If you had to do just one... I would go with the Rena XP3. If you can do both, then adding the aquaclear will be good. It'll be beneficial to be able to store more floss and possibly crushed coral in the aquaclear. Also, having two filters is ideal so you can alternate cleaning them.
IMO you'll need more then just the AC 110 if your doing mbuna.

I have an XP3 and an AC110 on my 90g mbuna tank. Two AC110s would be fine, however. I just wanted to be a bit more lazy with maintenance, hence the canister.
