Advice on pumps
Robb,
Just so I can make things a little more clear.
Do you have two aquariums and one is Saltwater and one is Freshwater?
As Ray mentioned, the fish you listed are not saltwater fish. The African Cichlids from the Rift Lakes, Tanganyika and Malawi, can handle a higher salt ratio than many other freshwater species can, but no where near a saltwater environment. Did someone by chance mention that Cichlids are Saltwater or Brackish fish? If so they are so very wrong.
The plecostomus however cannot handle a salt environment. They come from a salt free environment with a very low pH. They can adjust to a higher pH but NOT to a salt environment.
Very concerned about your fish.

No, I meant saltwater…and yes you are correct I mean filter. I’ve tried a pre-filter sponge before as well, but it really restricted my flow.
I’ll be honest I don’t know much, so my verbage may be incorrect.
