I am getting ready to set up my first larger tank of 120 gallons. This will also be my first try on a canister filter as well. My local LFS suggested the Aquetop CF500 UV, which I bought from them.
It says its rated for tanks up to 175 gallons and has a flow rate of 525gph. My question is whether or not this is enough filtration for my size tank? I read a few reviews online that this filter didn't come with media (carbon, bio-balls, rings etc), however mine has all this media enclosed. Some also said, that the gph is less with the media added.
I just want to make sure I am running enough filtration and would also welcome any feedback on this filter if anyone has any.
