Hello. I will be buying a 120 gallon glass aquarium soon which means I am going to need some filters. I obviously would like my water crystal clear. What filter(s) would work best for this tank? I would like to stay away from canister filters if at all possible. Thanks
 
If you want to avoid canisters, I'd do a wet/dry sump and run an AC 110 or Emperor 400 for mechanical and so you can add any extra media you need.

If you also want to avoid a sump I would run 3 of those HOBs. Or two and a couple of sponges.
