Hi....welcome to the tanganyikan world!

You have found a good example in Johannes, there's no better person to guide & help you along than him as he's most helpful and has many tanks that set a good example for tanganyikans keeping.

IMHO my first choice of filtration for a tanganyikan COMMUNITY tank (3ft & above) would be canister/s, mainly due to the fine sand u have that would get suck up should you use OHF or IOS. However if yr tank is 2ft and below, then a hang-on filter would suffice. And if its breeding or fry tank, sponge filter/s is good enough. Jo has a deep love for HMF filtration though but imo it just take away a portion of yr tank away and make your tank look smaller, that's if you don't mind and ofc if you have spare airpumps around.

Have fun and hope it helps.
