filter for a 150 gallon freshwater tank

[whodeymatt]

I have 150 gallon freshwater aquarium that I am buying things for. It will be for community fish with live plants. Looking into buying a filter soon. I prefer a canister filter with a built in UV light. I plan on having a C02 system set up too. Any suggestions? Thanks!

That's a lot of gallons and needs a couple filters if not then a very powerful one

I would do multiple canisters or a large sump for a tank that size.

You are going to need multiple filters..


My 92G corner tank has a 2217 Eheim canister, and a Top Fin 40 internal filter.. If i didnt have the internal filter the tank would be underfilterd big time. So i can imagine only 1 canister on a 150g

Always lots of bubbles and filtration for non planted tanks

Fluval Fx5, Fx6, Fg6. All good options.

The Fg6 is about $600 dollars, but it has enough technology in its system to give NASA a run for it...

Two Fx6 would be sufficient. Especially if you're doing smaller community fish not big messy fish.
