Best filter for a 125

[catman]

would two ac110 be enough?

I would go with a FX5 with the stock you got.

On my 125 GAL I have (1) Eheim-2028 for biological, (3) AquaClear-500s (110s) for mechanical & chemical, and (1) AquaClear Powerhead-802 (70) for circulation and aeration. There is still no substitution for constant water changes.

I have 125 and run a fx5 with rio 2100 power head for more circulation (scats are messy) seems to be woriking well i have just changed over lasgt week from a wet dry and aqua clear 110

Not all the fish in my stocklist are in the 125.

 

[haynchinook334]

What are you stocking the 125 with?

 

[catman]

Gold saum, Jack dempsey, red terror, and achara cat.

 

[haynchinook334]

A FX5 would be good.

Why only one plug? I would, if I only had one plug, do an Eheim 2262. Although it is very expensive, you have a 18 liters of media (fx5 holds about 6 in the center chambers), plenty of flow (535 gph), and eheim reliability, which is needed if you are relying on one filter.

i agree. definetly the 2262 if you want one single canister.

I would go with a good canister filter....my fluval canister does pretty good with my 125
