I just bought a 125 gallon tank and need to add a filter system and need some help. Here is my situation: I have about $250 to spend on the
filter(s). The tank is a glass drilled tank with 2 built-in overflow boxes. I have 160 pound of live rock and 4 inches of sand. I really don't care if I can't add corals for awhile and the fish I'm going to add to the tank (5 fish currently in a 29 gallon biocube) should have a small bio load. The options I'm considering are getting two cheap canister filters or trying to set-up a sump. The problem I have is I'm not going to build a sump (sorry, just isn't going to happen) and since I have two drilled overflows I would need a sump with two intake and most of them are over my budget. I’m begging for ideas...Please help
