Filters

[Fish for Nothin]

So I'm going to get a 110 gal. stock tank. Can I use 2 or 3 filters meant for a 75 gal., or would I have to get something else? Thanks!

You can but I would get either a canister or a sump. 
 

Fluval FX series are good and readily available otherwise I like Eheim and Aquatop.

 

I will always preach the word of the sump even if few listen. It really is so easy and customizable, not to mention cheap.

What fish do you plan to keep and will the tank be planted?  I agree that cannister filters are best but they can get kind of pricey.

you can use just about any amount of filters you want, or any combination of filters. there is no single rule that says you must run X amount of filtration per gallon. so many variables involved. you can always adjust flow of your filters, add filters to what you have, or change them for something else.

Okay, thanks for the replies. I forgot that it will house carp, which are big waste-producers. It will house koi (just to grow out and sell), and goldfish to keep in there permanently.

If I got 2 or 3 sponge filters, would that work?

Meant for 75 gals.
