Devontae Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello so I recently got a 125 gallon aquarium and I need help setting up filtration for it. I’m kinda new to the hobby and this is the biggest tank I’ve ever owned so I wanna set it up properly the first time. Any tips would be appreciated.

FrozenFins Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 it depends what your stocking it with. Heres what I would do filtration wise with a 125gal: -Canister Filter (The fluval fx4, fx6 are great filters, only problem is they are expensive and are a bit overkill) - Two Tidal 75 Hang on Backs Cansiter Filters are better in my opinion and there are lots more kinds of canister then the fluval fx4, fx6.

lefty o Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 how much money are we spending here? so many choices. im a hang on the back person myself, but cannisters can work very well too. my main question is what type of fish/how much flow or current are you looking for? being the 125 is a long tank, you definately want to consider water movement across the whole tank.

Devontae Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks for the tips and i have a budget of 500$ for filtration atm and for the fish I’m probably gonna go with fancy goldfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
