Need advice an filteration for a 125gal tank

[TRENT]

Hello, I just brought home a 125g tank and here is what I have to work with. (Cichlid tank) I have a undergravel system with two 802 powerheads (came out of my 55), a fluval fx5, and two AC 110. Should I run all of it or can I get away with the undergravel system and the Fluvel fx5? Thanks, T

I would say the FX5 would do the job

i would run the AC110s and the fx5 and ditch the UGF

well i have a 125 with 10-piranhas, and i run 2 ac110 and a fx5. so depending on your stock will determine how much you should filter.

use all filters.

all you need is the fx5 its runs like 900GPH if i remember right
and the under-gravel if you want

your right!!
but IMO, undergravle filters are worthless. use the 2 ac110 to cerculate the middle of the 125 and use the fx5 to cerculate the sides.

thats why i said if he wants lol
but a powerhead could push water to where the fx5 collects and he could turn around and sell the extra filters
and less wattage with that

I've never had any luck with under gravel filters

That's what I'd do.
