I have an Rena Xp3 on my 65 gallon tank. In a month i will be using it on a 125 gallon tank. The filter keeps my 65g tank sparkling clear, but i think it might need some help on the 125g. Would it be okay to put a Emperor 400 on the tank too? And can there ever be too much filtration on a tank?
Can there ever be too much filtration?

You'll probably be okay with the XP3 and Emp400 on your 125 as long as you don't have a huge bio-load.

I have a similar sized canister filter, an Emperor 400 and a Wet/Dry running on a 125 and it is definately not too much filtration. I think you would definately benefit from adding the emperor. What type of fish are you keeping and how many?
Various Bichirs, Red-tail cuda, African Knife(lame), pike,Tiger Oscar,TT eel, ropefish,and a couple other cichlids. They like to make a mess.
Know of any other cool fish i can house in the 125?

If you like bio filtration why are you going after the FX5?? It is more of a mechanical filter, Eheim pro3 is bio filtration.moxxommox;515084;515084 said:Im planning on having 2 FX5s on my +1000ltr tank... i like bio filtration
There's no such thing as too much filtration, but too much current... yes, depending on what species you're keeping.
