OK so short little story. Had a 36 bow front fresh water tank ran for 5 years with a canister filter. Upgraded to a used 72 bow front that my uncle gave me including his canister filter of a fluval 404. So I ran the 72 in replacement of the 36 for about another 3-6 years with his fluval 404. Now the 72 bow the top hood plastic that goes around the whole tank and has the separator in the middle broke so I replaced it last year (boy was that a pain) then now a year later I came home to my tank half empty on my floor of my room it leaked out from bottom of the bow now. So browed a tank from my girlfriends sister and have all my fish and filter and air pump all in that now for time being as I redo my room as my floors ruined. But I'm looking at getting a new tank. My girl friend works for Petsmart and they have a 120 gallon tank with stand and hood and i think a undergravel filter for 530 thats including her discount. What type of filter setup do I need to run. Like I said I have a 404 fluval now. I read on line some people are running two of them at opposite ends. ALso I'm running a Whisper Air Pump 100. Do I need bigger or a second one? Also I'm running a Marineland Visi-Therm 400w I believe but I will check when I get home. Do I need another heater as well? What else would you all recommend? and should I get new filter media for both filters? or keep with the old and get new if I add another filter? I never ran a tank so big so Im really at a lost. I'm really up for suggestions on everything so no ideas will be dismissed.
Thanks all,
