I have a 125 gallon that started with 3 ac110s..now i have 3 canister filters and no HOBS. I have the spray bar for 2 of the canister filters at the water line to move the water a bit but it doesnt have the water movement I had with the 3 110s...maybe its just me but my fish dont seem as active now?? am I worrying too much or should I get a couple powerheads or bring back one or 2 hobs? any thoughts?
 
what type of canisters are they? if they are the renas i know they come with a power nozzle. you could use that if you have it. otherwise, at petmountain.com i found some good deals on the koralia powerheads

I have a rena xp4 (using spraybar at water level), marineland C360 (spray nozzle aimed downward) and fluval 405 (output nozzle at water level). I guess my worry is that there is enough movement/oxygen in the water. Im just so used to seeing all of the bubbles from the ac110s in there..seems strangely quiet and weird in there now
 
i know the rena's are very quiet. if your worried about more oxygen in the water just get an air stone and pump. sounds liek you have plenty of filtration on there.
 
If you have good surface aggitation from the spraybars, then you have enough oxygen in the water.
