newb filter question

[IRoman]

Okay, So I have looked and tried to find info on this but I can't find a black and white answer to my newbness

I have a 125g and I am trying to understand what Fluval 404's will do for me. Do they actually mount in the tank or where-ever I want it? There are 2 locally for sale for 40$ each, I know each one is good for 100g tanks but what if I use both of them?

...I'm starting to lean towards 2 Tiger Oscars for my first fish if that makes a difference, I have been reading they are messy

Would this work for a 125? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/192251026.html

they will sit beside or under your tank, and the filter media goes inside of them. They are connected to the tank via hoses
check out their website and it may give a better explanation.

Oh okay, Thats what I thought but I wasnt sure because of the shape Would 2 404's work for a 125?

What do you think about the 25 gallon Amirale sump? Would that work also?

I would go for the sump filter, I like wet/drys better.
Either would get the job done though.

I like the idea of the wet/dry better too. So the 25 gallon would work for a 125. Its 30x14x14, I couldnt find it on the amircale website but they did have a 30x14x18 for a 180?

I'll be checking with the wife

your 125 has overflow boxes right?
