I currently have a 125 gallon with 2 ac110s housing 2 tiger red oscars, 2 silver dollars, orioncensis peacock bass, hi fin achara catfish, and a clown knife...all under 8 in ...will be adding a florida spotted gar and a temensis peacock bass soon...tank will be heavily stocked i know but i wanna know whats the best cannister filter to add to my tank for the money...
 
id personally go with fluval.I have fluval and rena and i was very disappointed with rena-it has no power on the output.I think i can pee harder than a rena filter:D

fluval fx5 is the best bang for the buck. fill all the baskets with bio media.
Agreed, with your stock you might want to keep the 2xAC110 and the FX5 in that tank. and keep us updated on the tem.
 
sounds like the way im goin then...o and as for the temensis...i dont know what my friend was smoking but he hasnt got ich on him...lol he is perfectly fine and i came away with a steal!!!!
 
Fx5 from ebay for about $200 is prob the way to go on a budget. Fill it with scrubbies if your short on cash and replace with bio media as you can afford it.

You can use the bio from your ac110's in the canister and put another foam in your ac110's, double stack style.
imho
 
Get a 1500gph pump off ebay 25$ and this micron canister filter.

By ocean clear 125$

The 319 uses 154 sq ft of Polystrand Dual Function filter pads, 100 micron and 50 micron, to perform the mechanical and biological filtration. The pads have a hollow core which holds 20oz of carbon which performs the chemical filtration.

This setup is the same as almost 2 fx5's and cheaper.

Ocean clear is boss filtration
