125 gallon tank fitration

[swomley93]

Hello I have a 125 gallon tank, and I was wondering if I could use 2 aquaclear 110s and 1 75 gal aquaclear. So that would mean I would have over 1000 gph that should work fine right? Cuz it's 8 times the tank roughly the tank won't be stocked extremely heavily

Depends what your stock ia going to be ....but it should be ok if its light ...if u have powerheads to stir the water around it will help filter as well.....also the 70s wont fit the trim on the 125

That should work fine. Three 110's would be better though!

Yea you will be fine as long as u have a proper water change schedule

I ran two AC110s on a 120 for a couple years. Worked decent. But if you are going to be fairly heavily stocked, I'd look into a third as already mentioned. Also may not hurt to buy a little extra bio media to fill them with.

Awesome good deal I may do 3 just cut I love these filters there so easy and I do hydroponics out of the back of these filters wich suck the nitrates up I grow cabbage BTW it's real simple and helps with less water changes, and another question... I said I wanna do two jags but I also would love to do a planted tank with driftwood and stuff like that, does anyone know of a cook predatory fish or couple of fish that would work with plants and eachother?

I honestly not a big fan of HOB filters. I would get 1 FX5 or FX6 and call it a day. IT would be plenty for your 125g, even if you have heavy stock it would be ok. They key is no matter how much filteration you have, water change is the bottom line.
