I always thought African cichlids need extra filtration because they are heavy waste producers and do best in overstocked tanks due to being territorial. So I would put the 405 on the Cichlid tank along with the HOB with less GPH. (I'm assuming the Penguin 400)
Then do the HOB with more GPH on the Angel tank. (assuming the AC 110 with the flow turned down)
