Habitat - Indoor :: Filter Question

[acolotto]

A family friend is giving me a new aquarium for my RES over thanksgiving its either a 125 or 150 gallon tank. Most likely a 125 gallon. I am upgrading from a 55 gallon and I will obviously need to get a new filter or filters. I was wondering what kind of filter i should get. I know it will be a canister filter most likely but i cant find any that have enough water flow for a 125 or 150 tank. . IF someone could help that would be great.

Thanks

Could you run a filter like a FX5 or XP3 and keep the older filter?

I've seen alot of people run 2 rena xp3 filters on larger aquariums. They have one at each side of the tank so there is no dead spots in between.
