What kind of canister filter should i buy for my 110 gallon marine aquarium?

Well i just bought an electric blue african cichlid for a 29 gal tank. In the tank i kept a jack dempsey and a shovelnose catfish. I’ve never had a problem eith the jack dempsey because he is surprisingly peacful and friendly to the other fish. But, the electric blue is now nipping at the shovelnoses fins. The other fish are being left alone because they usually stay in their caves. I want to get my shovelnose into a different tank. It just so happens i have a spare fifteen gallon tank with nothing but gravel and a plant. It has no heater or filter but it does have a bubble machine. I’ve read many places that shovelnoses can be put in water temps. of about 72 to 86 degrees. If i put him in that tank in my room which is usually kept at 75 degrees will he be ok for a few days without a filter?
yes they do have 29 and 15 walk into petsmart and look at the box its lima i dont need to hear about how big it will be when the time comes that it gets too big i will move it. Im worries about the matter at hand

ok so heres the deal. I have a 10 gallon tank w/ heater, filter, etc. Also have all the necessary chemicals and what not. Its been cycled, and been running for a few days. Now my question is what kind of fish to get. I dont want guppies, gold fish, betas, mini sharks…nothing of the sort! id really like to go very colorful and tropical. please help
are there freahwater puffer fish? also what fish mates would get along w/ them

I have had a freshwater tropical fish tank for about 6 months now. We have an assortment of guppies, tetras, and catfish. The oast two weekends when I went to change the filter cartridge(carbon refillable cartridges) there have been littl black worms on the top half of the cartridge. They don’t seem to be bothering the fish, but I’m not sure what they are or where they’re coming from. I have tried getting a brand new cartridge out and cleaning the filter out. I also vaccuumed the gravel, but the worms keep coming back. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

Im going to use this product to cure my fish , and it says on the back to remove the carbon filter.

My question is do you also remove the Bio Fiber Filter and just let the filter circulate the water for 48 hours?

My Convict Cichlid has a weird growth on his left pectoral fin , while his right pectoral fin is normal.
Any idea what that is?
I’ll try to upload a picture in a little bit.
