i have a 125g and a 55g... i was going to get a diatom filter, but i changed my mind... i think i want to get a better filter for my 125g cuz my oscar makes a mess with his food (the 2 ac 500's arent doing enough)
get a magnum 350 pro. it comes with a micron filter so you can use it as a water polisher like a diatom and you can use it as a regular canister filter as well
there like 80 bucks on bigals so you could buy something else too

2 ac500's arent cutting it? hmm.. thats the route i had planned to go. is it they can't pull the leftover scraps out of the water or general cloudyness?
guess i could spend more and go 2 emperor's.
what makes more sense 3 equal strength filters across the back of a tank or 2 monsters on each end and small suplemental something in the middle?

can you leave the micron filter on it the whole time or do you only use it when you want to polish the water?? and how often would i have to replace the micron filter???
I don't see how two 500's on a 125G could cut it...I have two AC500's on a 55G midas aquarium and I consider them to be sufficient. Both are stocked with nothing but two sponges and I think any cichlid aquarium bigger than 55G would need more filteration than just 2 AC 500's. I love AC filters and I would never buy any other types of filters because AC's rule, IMO!
I have a tetratec filter for sale....this thing flows water through two cartridges, one side of each pics of major particles, and the other side is a finer mesh that pics up ALOT of small particles....it also has a heater unit that you can plug into it.
Clears up water alot faster than an aquaclear can, and I like the fact that it has a heater where bigger cichlids can't hit it. It also has a wet dry filter with no moving parts.
Basically, power of AC filter....no noise, built in heater, Wet dry that works better than marinelands, and filters that cost less the emperors, and filter more....
