a 105 fluval would be a good choice too

i got the sting ray one with the tank, its ok has good power on it, but there is muck accumalting on the substrate, so i was thinking a 105 with a spray bar.

Should be fine, but you will definately have to net the intake if still using it for apisto & young.
