I have am setting up my 125. I have a wet dry filter, 1300 gallon pump. Should i put a aqua clear on that also or no?
 
Depending on the species you are going to keep in the tank. If it is a slow flow species, I'd say no. If you're going to have a really messy eater the AC will help keep the tank clean.

Exactly ..

What are your stocking plans..
 
Oscar, 2 green terrors, a pleco, and i was thinkin of a sevrum
 
I would it's always better to go over kill then then and have a nice clear tank but I would take out the carben and the bio rings and put a nother sponge in it just my two cents:popcorn:

Yep, I would definately add the aqua clear filter on top of the sump. O's are very messy fish. The more filtration the better. IMO
 
get an ac 110 and put two foam mechanical cartridges and one biomax rings cartridge. that will be good flow and mechanical filtration. the wetdry will take care of the biological filtration. dont use carbon i hear it cause hole in the head in oscars (not sure if its proven but why risk it?)
 
Actually, poor water conditions cause hole in the head disease. I have used carbon in my Oscars tanks for over a year and no problems yet.
 
I like a cannister with a wet/dry, It gives me some nice water movement and dosen't add extra noise that my overflow already makes....
Sounds like a cool tank!
