Adding another canister filter. Need advice.

[Salty-Fish]

I have a 125g tank. I currently have a Filstar XP3. I want another canister filter before I start adding coral. What are some brand names that make good canister filters? I know the Fluval FX5 is good but kinda pricey. What about Eheim?

Eheim, Fluval and Rena all make good canister filters. I don't think you'd go wrong with any of them.

Do you have any LR in the tank? If so how much?

I have 100# of live rock and 75# of base rock that I just put in

With that much rock, you actually don't need another canister. The LR will host your beneficial bacteria and it'll be one less sponge to clean!
