120g filter aside from FX6?

[BullyBee]

I am wondering if there are any other canister filters (even pond) for a 120 gallon other than a FX6? I own an Oase 350 and am also considering a 600.

I am doing a Fahaka Puffer so I want a lot of bio media. The Sicce Whale seems to have the most room for bio media, then the Oase, then the FX6. But the FX6 seems to truly have the GPH (563 I think in reality) where all the others are in the 350 range.

I’m just making sure I’m not missing anything before I drop the money on it.

There's the Aqua One Nautilus 2700, Eheim Professional 5 600 and 700. Then there's a sump, of course.

I’m not looking to do a sump because there’s zero need for it. If I was running things like reactors and ATO’s then I def would.

I always look to Eheim if I'm thinking canister and need to max out on bio. If you really don't wanna go fx-6 (this is what I'm currently running on my fahaka tank) then I would look at a bigger eheim, maybe even the 1500xl if money's a non-issue.

FX6 all day. great filter.

Eheim 2262/1500xl is probably the highest quality, largest capacity can available.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ll let you know what I go with

That's one of the major use cases for a sump.

I hear that. I am not anti sump, I just don’t see the point for a 120. Especially without an ATO, skimmer, reactors. I understand sump design and how to work around by pass, hell I still have my Ecotech battery back up from a scrapped project that was going to use a sump.
