Hey guys, I needed some help, I just upgraded into a 120 gallon tank (48x24x24). I wanted to know whats the best step for me. Right now the tankhouse a 12" florida gar, 8" lapradei, 6" weekis, a small severum and datnoid. I will be adding another datnoid and a couple more bichirs. The filtration right now is a fluval 305 and a aquaclear 70(I need to add more filters). Here are my questions:
How many more polys can I add?

Should I buy a hagen fx5 or 2 aqua clear 110s? I can get the FX5 for 220$ and the the aquaclears for 65$ each. Which is better off for me? Its a lot of money and I want to be in a budget. If you guys recommend any other filters let me know. THANKS!!
 
FX5 all the way. You might want to hold off on additional fish and put the money towards something like a 300 gallon for your stock.
 
FX5 or better

2FX5
 
Like you said, he's gonna need a 300g for his stock.

If he plans on upgrading, might as well get another FX5
 
THANKS GUYS, I wanted to get the cheaper filter, but I rather spend more and make it easier for my fish. I plan on getting rid of the GAR. How long do you think I have till I need a upgrade? I will be moving next year than going to get another tank at the new place. You think they will last another year without a new tank? I had about 4 tanks, everything is gone, I only have a 50g left which I plan on getting rid of as well. No room in the apartment(girlfriend wont allow).
