125 gal filters set up help

[goldies88]

Hi, all. I got a 125 gal tank ready to set up anytime. But have question about which filters going to work better. Currently i have eheim 2128 , fx5, and 20 gals eshopps wet and dry with quiet one 4000 pump laying round to be set up.

So my question is .Which combination will work best. First the tank will be in living room . Will wet and dry too much noise on the overflow ? Can fx5 with eheim 2128 good enough to do the job? Or i should run all three filters ? Tank will be over stock with peacocks 30ish or 40ish.
Thanks

use both of the canisters.. they are quiet and not so complex... but if use dont really care about noise use the sump. they work better than canisters and are a LOAD cheapper. they are also eay to do maintnence on.

yeah go with the two canisters. as for media.. i would go with a combination of fluval foam blocks (cut them to fit). polyester filter wool, and ceramic rings!!

Just use the canisters, a sump will make more noise. The FX5 would probably work fine alone, but you might as well use the eheim too.

Yea, that what i was worry about the noise . I know fx 5 will be quiet and i have eheim 2228 running on my 60 gl. It is dead silence . I'm sure 2128 too.
The quiet one 4000 pump i got suppose for the sump. I used for water change first time try to see what up . Man, that pump can really pump. Took me 4 mins got 50 gals of water out of my 60 gal tank Normally takes me 30 to 40 mins to python the water and not to mention waste lot of water to begin with.

sorry i didnt get back to you. just cut the foam to fit, or if they fit already just put em in. they are reusable and work great.

you can get polyester filter wool from the petstore. you can get a bag for like 4 bucks.
