Hang-ons vs. Canisters vs. Sumps

What is the best filtration to use for a 125g that you will eventually be upgrading?

I'm sure there's multiple threads on this already but IMO, nothing beats a wet/dry as far as bio/oxygenation/surface skimming

For your fish load and a casual setup I would look into a fx5 or an eheim canister.

For most purposes:
Sump > Canister > HOB


In terms of ease of maintenance, generally:
HOB > Sump > Canister

I consider myself a novice to intermediate fish keeper and am in love with the FX5's. I have a 100g and run two FX5's on them.

sorry about the repeat thread guys still new to all of this.

Right now I'm running 2 400's and was in a toss up between a sump or canister.

 

[ecoli73]

if you use emperor 400s already, just add another fx5 and you are good to go.

For me I would go with a sump,i used all sorts of other filters, but nothing to me has been as easy and care free as a sump,
