Canister Filter For 125g Salt Tank

[jac122]

I am looking to upgrade my filtration on my 125 saltwater tank. I have fish and corals. There are so many options all with some draw back. Fluval FX5, overkill or never too much? Cascade 1500, cheap or just inexpensive? Eheim, worth bucks or just a reputable name? Filsta.....? Help any advice?

Can i just ask do u use like ceramic media etc? Cos that can cause high nitrates etc. If not i take it back. As for just having a external i would have to say the FX5 is good but tbh i dont like fluval filters too much design for summit so basic. Ehiem are amazing you can beat the germans in aquatic trade they last for donkeys and easy to maintain. I would recomend either a pro 2 or pro3 but i think eccos are also good but only down side is the price but its worth it
