I would get a Eheim 2260 for that many fish in that size of tank.
How big are all of them?

I know nothing about the filter...




...but I like your avatar. :thud:

 

[RodInCALIFORNIA]

yea your filter set up sounds fine.

Are you asking if the Eheim 2026 is good enough alone on that fish tank, or are you asking if it's a good addition to the Fluval 405?

If alone - I would say no. I don't think it would be enough filtration on its own.

It is only rated for 80 gallons or so, and you're pretty heavily stocked.

If you're asking if it's a good additional filtration device with the Fluval 405 - then I would say absolutely!

Your tank is horribly overstocked.No matter what or how much filtration will help that.You posted in another thread that one of your GT's is chasing the other.This does not sound like breeding behavior.Especially if the male is the one being chased.It sounds like territory issues,and it will get worse.Get a bigger tank or get rid of some of your fish.

Cichlids chasing and harassing other fish is normal.
