Nice.. I remembered my first tank 50gallon with 10 baby red bellies. I couldnt sleep that night. Now, 2 years later I have a 125gallon, a 150gallon bow front, another 125gallon, a 75gallon, a 29gallon long, (2) 10gallons, and a 5 gallon.
This addiction never ends.

I was about to say the same thing until i read peanuts response......XP3's are great filters but for a 125g with large fish it will not be sufficent. I'd run a Emperor 400 or AC110 with your XP3 plus a pair of Powerheads for increased oxygen and water movement. GoodLuck...

I hated my one it leaked twice on me no warning put it back together all ok 5 hrs later sitting watching telly and then noticed a wet patch in my carpet thing was leaking. On both occasions I had to remove the seal from the lid put it back in to get it to seal I do thing it was just a bad one but you know the old saying once bitten twice shy. had my Eheims leak once gave the thing away and it did the same for my mate. I know a lot of Americans use them but there not so popular here.

But nice tank and nice truck.
