Filter Dilemma

[aquahunter]

I know I'm making myself out to be a total newb to aquariums , but the humble truth is -- I am one

So I'm back for some more advice. The below links are photos of my new aquarium (120G)

I don't know much about filters so i need help Identifying what kind of filter mine is? I think it doubles as an Aerator with that tube sticking out-- i'm not sure. But if it is , then that's a problem as i want to grow plants in there . (nothing overly demanding , Java ferns , Anubias , Vals etc.) so if it is an aerator it'll won't leave much co2 for the plants ,right? Is there anyway i can disable it? or does this mean i have to change the filter all together?

Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

just save the pics to your computer, when you post click manage attachments, hit browse, locate them, and click them. they will be uploaded and resized automatically. hope this helps. its easier than doing the flickr stuff..

That's a rad looking tank! Not too sure of what kind of filter it is though.
