Info for (over)filtering my 100 gallon

[KingofAliens]

Hi mfkrs,

I have a 100 gallon glass tank with 2 peacock bass and 1 pike cichlid in it.

I have a whisper 60 hooked on it currently and some pothos in it which is established already.

I'm told recently that the whisper 60 is just not enough for my fish.

What other filter or filtering system would you guys recommend???

Please look at my other posts for a full tank shot as I can't upload one right now from my phone.

Thanx
​

I answered your other post.

More would be best as a 100 gallon is already too small to be raising juvenile pbass in. Temporary yes, but within a year you would need a much bigger tank. I would definitely get a wet-dry system that can do at least 5 times turnover of water. Maybe an AC-100 or two as back-ups. Then large weekly water changes, at least 50%. Bottom line is you need to maintain water quality as best as you can, otherwise your bass will not have a healthy life.

I have all my tanks basically bare bottom, except for my sponge filters and a couple of clay pots. Makes cleaning easier.
