I plan on setting up a 120 gallon(48x24x24) fresh water aquarium in a wall. I would like to have it where you will be able to see directly through the tank, without anything taking away from the view from either room. Any suggestions on what type of filtration system to go with?
Thanks in advance!

A nice sump would probably be a good choice and you can hide your heaters and other things in it giving you more room in your tank.

If you do choose to go with a sump and your tank isn't drilled, find out if it can be drilled. If it can, save yourself headache and get it drilled for overflow.

Thanks. Also a few places were saying go with two large canisters and run the tubes up the side.

I love fx5 for ranks around this size, put some good media in it, top it off wth filter floss, and tank will stay clear.
