Hey guys, I have a 125gal aggressive tank. Theres jd's, oscar, peacock, arowana and a tsn. As you can imagine there messy. I'm wondering what i could do to stir up the bottom better and get a lot of the bigger debris out. I have a Maxi-Jet 1200 powerhead on the bottom to stir it up, I also have 2 Emperor 400's on the back. Does anyone have any idea what I could do? Thanks for hte help.

get a few 30 gal undergravel filters and maybe a 125gal sponge filter and just put it in a corner(only like $15 by me).

I have a koralia 3 powerhead for my 125 gallon along with my fx5 and nothing stays on the bottom.How big is your arowana and tsn?Those bad boys are gonna need something way larger than a 125 gallon eventually.
Im looking to upgrade to a 220 or 240 within a month or so. My arowana is about 12-14", and my tsn is bout 18-20". Ive never used a canister before, are they difficult to use?
That really depends on the brand. But generally most canisters are easy to use. The simplest one is Fluval FX5. I really like this filter, just measure and cut the hosing for the intake and outtake, plug and play, a simple and great filter.
If you are planning on upgrading to a 200+ soon, I would say get 2 FX5. Otherwise, a single FX5 is sufficient for 125g.

im not really an aro expert, but..i thought they need at least a 300 for full growth..i dont think a 240 will suffice perminantly
