i have a 77gal with 6 2-3" assorted discus right now, im just wondering
if the filtration i have on the tank now (fluval 304,ac110) is to much or to little? and if to much which of the two should i keep?

thanks

keep them both ...you can never have to much , i would do a 50-75% water change a day . and feed them 4-7 times a day. they will grow like weeds ! good luck with your new guys ,

Probably not. Sure it will give you an added filter but too much water movement may stress the fish. I think what you have is fine.

I agree, instead get a nice 30-55gal to be a QT or breeder for when these guys grow up, throw the extra on the tank and get it cycled for when the time comes that you either buy more fish or breed more fish :)
