In need of filtration for about 100gallons or more

just picked up a 220 and only have some hob filters left over, I'm in the market for some canisters like xp3/4 fx5 etc if anyone has any they are trying to get rid of. Also I've never done a sump before but I'm open to it if you can provide some assistance with the sale.

Heading to Petco to get 2 40g breeders and Sams or Lowes to pick up a HD Edsel Rack to set them on.

Can i just have my plants do all the filtration?

So I am in process of setting up a 125 gallon african cichlid aquarium. But my question is, is there such a thing as too much filtration? I have the chance to get a great deal on a brand new pond filter with a UV sterilizer. It would be cheaper than a brand new canister filter. But is that...

Is the use of under-gravel filtration a relic of the past? Just about everything I see online about it suggests that it has fallen out of favor. So why do I still want it as part of my water maintenance program? Are there glaring disadvantages that outweigh the benefits? If live plants are in...

I'm moving everything that is currently in my 33L into a 125g and I need some advice on filtering the 125g. I currently have an Eheim 2215 on the 33L that I will be using on the 125g. A few ideas I have been considering are as follows: 1. Eheim 2215, Eheim 2215, and Koralia Evo. 1400 gph...

So if a 65g Lake Malawi tank had only pool filter sand, would there really be any need for mechanical filtration? I ask because our 65g Malawi tank currently has an AC 110 and an XP2 (the AC110 only doesn't use any mechanical media, only ceramics for bio, though the XP2 has sponges and...

I have been unhappy with my Baltimore City water for some time, not only for my fish, but also for my family, and have been considering a whole-house water filtration system that would include UV, sediment filtration down to 1 micron, and activated carbon (similar to what is shown on Ted's Fish...

Just curious to know if there is any "rule-of-thumb" for the number of times the tank water should be turned over. Specifically I have African Cichlids (sorry Francine), so I want to about that. My wife has a 20gall with three goldfish (1 comet, 2 choclate fantails). I currently use HOB...

I am wondering if having a charcoal filter will stabilize pH drop from filtering water through peat. I want to soften my water and make sure it's clean, but i don't want to cancel the effects of the peat with the charcoal. does anyone have any opinion on this?
