Eheim ecco is fine
I would use ceramic rings
and foam sheets or blocks

no carbon

carbon is bad for the cichlids' skin

Is the no carbon rule in play for africans cichlids? am running 2 406 fluvals on a 75 gallon and have quite a bit of carbon filtration bags in them.....Ive been reading lately that carbon really isnt needed....one site went so far as to call it a huge scam....curious where your opinion is on this?
