I have a 90gal with one Fx5 one XP3 and one AC110. Anyone more over filtered than that?

That's like bragging that you have a 16", 24, and 36" fan in a small bedroom. You only need one fan; none if you have central air (analogous to a heavily planted tank with a small bio-load).

The extra fans provide little additional comfort. On the down side they waste money, add noise, and waste energy (which heats up the room). Same applies to over filtration.

Now if you want bragging rights; hoping to outdo all the members on this forum, you will have to have many more and larger filters than that......

BTW - I have two AC110s on my 125G which supports a large bio-load.

Right now I have two emperor 400's, a fluval 405 and a couple sponge filters on my 75. Taking off the 405 soon, just had it while one of the 400's was down.

But I like the sound of the fans!!
