Filter Choice for a 110 G with Oscars

[aquajules]

Can someone suggest which filter is a good for a 110G aquarium with 3 Oscars?

I have an Aquaclear for 110 but it’s not doing a good job. Should I add another filter or switch to a larger canister filter?

I have no clue. Please Help!!!!


Thank you

I would definitely add a canister. I'm not familiar enough to advise you on a brand for the canister though, sorry...

And I hope you plan on upgrading the tank. 3 Oscars!? how large are they now?

How often are you doing water changes?

id add a powerhead for that size tank and another aquaclear 110.

I would add a canister filter or two. I like the Magnum 350's deluxe package because they are really easy to maintain. I have two on my 125 gallon. I have charcoal in one because my wife yells if the house smells fishy. In the other I stuffed the charcoal container full of filter sponges from a pond filter cartridge. Crystal clear odor free water in my tank. I'm running a pretty heavy bioload on my tank as well.

one ac 110 isnt going to cut it. canister is good since it has a big area for media.

Yes in a year or so , we are planning on getting a 200 - 400 G tank. My oscars are about 5 inches. Two tiger and one albino ( and its so mean).

So i should get two magnium 350s anything else? i've never had a tank this big.

I would skip the Mag 350 and go for somthing that holds more media like a eheim classic 2217 or an Xp3
