120 gallons full of African cichlids? *drools* Get some fronts... oh man those will look nice in there!!

Damon here has it pretty much on point, but I wanted to add that though it is not needed, adding a powerhead in the middle of the tank, since both filters will be on the end, will add a bit more waterflow through the middle of the tank.

Two Emperor 400 filters should do the trick... if I am not correct they have 400 gph. They are about 15 inches long and 10 inches high... As far as the other stuff i am not sure.

Lots of filteration, rockwork, and hiding places is the key to keeping African cichlids.

Good luck!!
