My discus are still in the 45H in the kitchen. I've been contemplating ditching the canister filter and replacing it with an AC110... but was concerned about having too much flow.
Because of this thread, I think I'm going to go home and try it tonight.

Just curious. What makes you say that the fish don't seem to mind the current and what would fish have to do make you think they mind the current?

They appear to expend something approaching zero energy to deal with the current - I suppose they would have to manifest some strain/difficulty for me to imagine otherwise and not be growing like weeds.
Have another 55 with two AC 110s on it set to low flow that is much more turbulent (because AC has yet to design a directional/adjustable flow feature for their otherwise excellent units), pretty sure the discus would be less content in that but even so there are calm areas within the tank.
It's all relative, but I think it's good for fish in confinement to have to work a little bit - none of mine seem to be suffering in any case and all have sufficiently abundant energy reserves to "dance" for me every most chance they get if they feel it may involve being fed. That and nearly everything mature enough to do so or that has the right circumstances seems inclined to spawn so they can't be too miserable. Thus do I imagine.
