What Canister Filter Should I Use On My New 120 Gallon?

[rwellbaum]

hey everyone i am getting a new 120 gallon tank to add to my collection... I am now thinking about filtration, i can spend around $250 +-
I like over filtration

i was thinking 1 fx5?

or i have an AquaTop cf500uv on one of my other tanks and i like it... so i was thinking of running 2 AquaTop cf500uv s on my 120?

what do you guys think? what do you guys recommend? what would give me the best bang for my buck?

THANKS!

I would do an FX5 with an aquatop. You could find a used FX5 for about $150 ish used with media and then spend the other $100 on the aquatop.

I use an fx5 with my cf-500uv on my 125 and it works great.
