Large aquarium filter question

[Hemivision]

Can I get an aquaclear filter for an aquarium thats 115 gallons .. I just had 1/4 of my tank leak all out cuz on of my canister filter tubes fell in the tank while i was cleaning the filter out .. ive had too many problems with this stupid canister filter and quite frankly im done with it .. I just want an aquaclear .. something safe and easier to work with . thank you for any help

you would need 2 really big good HOB's to do the job. dont give up on canisters though, they are the best

Agreed. Don't let a single mistake steer you away from the best type of filtration there is.

IMO that size tank truly needs a cannister.

yep, large tanks have to be understocked if you are not using a canister. dont let one incident steer you away. when my hydor screwed up and spit 10 gallons of water on my floor, it didnt steer me away from canister filters. ive still got the hydor, (which broke when i tried to pull off the lid too hard and the bottom cracked), a fluval 205, OSCAR mini canister, and resun for 220 gallons

Just take a look at those big Eheim like 2050 or even 2060 or the Professional III

Then there is a Fluval called FX (???) 5, a real monster.

One of thos should work for your tank.

All are easy to handle, and everythin smaller wont do.

I for myself have running at my 110 gal. one Eheim 2050 AND a No Name Filter.

FX5's are CRAZY. up too 400g of filtration.

That Fluval FX5 is a BEAST of a filter. When I get the 180 gallon one will go on there.

The Eheim 2026 would not be enough filtration for a 115, you'd need the 2028. As my recommendation on a 115 gallon, I'd have an Eheim 2028 plus an Aquaclear 110.
