Let me begin by saying to Ned that you have a fantastic store. I have visited every tropical fish store that I can find in mass and you have the best freshwater selection and most knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Now, I need a little advice and a couple of product recommendations.
I currently have and established african cichlid tank. Its a 20 gallon, and I am moving them into a bigger size tank (29g). I started with three cichlids in the 20, but they have spawned several times, and a couple of the babies survived and the bio load on the tank is just too high at this point. I have a 29 gallon tank to move them into, but not any of the hardware for it. So for that tank I am looking for a recommendation for what filter(s), heater, any other equipment I should buy.
I am planning on doing a salt setup in the 20 gallon once I vacate the current residents. For that one, I need advice as to how/what to clean it with, and what filtration, heater, etc. Basically I want to get an expert opinion of everything I will need to buy to make this happen.
I am planning on doing live rock, coral and only two fish in the salt tank.
Also any pointers on moving the fish into the new tank would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

THANKS.

DEPENDING ON THE SPECIES, A 29 IS NOT A BIG TANK.
MALAWI CICHLIDS SHOULD REALLY HAVE A 75, THE SMALLER TANGANYIKANS ARE FINE IN A 29.

I SUGGEST AN AQUACLEAR 70 (300) $52.
A SERA 100 WATT HYEATER $33
