125gal. filteration???

[NYfan78]

This will be my first big tank and i am so excited to get it set up. Its a 125 gal. I am not sure which direction to go to filter the tank. I will be house Pirahnas in it. Here are my choices of filters so far.

-FX5
-2 or 3 Aqua Clear 110
-wet/dry

The FX5 i like but seems to be a huge pain to maintan it. The wet/dry i dont know anything about. The AC110 i love i have 2 AC70s on my 55. Any insite would be great. Thanks!

I have 2 ac110's an undergravel filter and a ehiem G60 which is good for 160gal tank on my 125.

your better off with the ac110's. they are soooo much easier to clean and do a fantastic job.

How many AC110 2 or 3?

You'll def have less money involved in ac110's. I think either the ac110's or the Fx5 would do just fine on a 125. I have 2 Fx5's and they are big and bulky, but I don't mind them at all. They do a great job as well and generally should allow for less maintanence. What are you stocking your 125 with? That would allow for some better suggestions.

I agree with oldguy!

The Aqua clear filters are one of the best on the market for filtration,ease of operation and cleaning!
