I have had my current 55g setup for over 2 years now with no fatalities ever. 1 chocolate about 7", two 4" firemouths, and a 5" JD. Also a large Albino pleco also about 7". The fish are getting big. Time for a new tank. Mom says she wants to redo the kitchen and the fish tank isn't in the plans. She did say however I could get a tank with a stand and put it in the dining room. I eyed a all-glass 125g with dual overflows and a nice wooden stand on sale for $600!! I got a resounding"NO" when i got home. Well I looked at the all-glass catalog and I think I settled on the 90g. I have a jebo 838, penguin 200, and a biowheel 125 runing on my 55 right now. I don't want any HOB's on my new tank just canisters, I was thinking I could run the jebo and buy another XP3 Or XP2 for some redundancy. would that be enough filtration?
Getting a new tank.. some questions

I'll let you figure it out yourself. Find the GPH (gallons per hour) rating on the filters you want, then make sure the total GPH of water movement will be 5x the tank volume, more being better. This is a time where sites like big als and live aquaria will come in handy for thier information.
try craigslist.org and see if anyone in your area has big tanks for sale. Usually they are sold quite cheap and are great deals.
