What Canister Filter Should I Use On My New 120 Gallon?

[F1 VET]

Looks like I know what I'm doing tonight haha

I definitely notice significantly more flow, much more efficient! Try that with an aquatop. Little p p stream lol ----------->

hey thanks everyone for your suggestions!
i think i am going to try to go with the fx5 and AquaTop cf500uv combo... i am going to try to find a nice used fx5 or else buy a new one and get an AquaTop at a later date. i will update you guys when ever i get my new filters! thanks again!

if anyone has any more ideas on what i should do keep me posted

On my 120g, i use the Rena Filstar XP4 (think that's the model), and works great. But also use it along with my wet/dry sump. As for the Rena, best bang for the buck IMO. Great flow, and easy to clean.

holy good god the price on one of those

But you get what you pay for with it.

To the op I would go with the combo and use the aquatop for bio. The uv on it helps out a lot also.

If bio filtration what you after, go wet/dry. with canister filters, the bio media always submerged in water. Bacteria thrives much better when gets a lil air

I just got a used fx5, I think ill ditch my two ac110 and keep my xp3 running since my uv filter is hooked on it and replace the two ac110s with the fx5. I got my fx5 for 140 with media, just missing the rim connector and thinking about making spray bar. Good luck..
