I am buying a 125 gallon tank. I am planning on planting the tank and having 2-4 discus with a few neons and other community fish. The question is what kind of filter should I get i was thinking of a canaster filter but i do not know if that would be a good idea or not or what type I should get. Bassically what kind of filter should i get that will keep the tank cleanest and make water changes less?
Thanks

No filter replaces regular water changes.

Two aqua Clear 500s filled with two internal sponges and an external prefilter sponge on the water intake is what I use on my 135. The prefilters trap all kinds of feces and uneaten food and should be rinsed daily.

You will have more success with adults in your planted tanks. Pehaps you can find two pairs.

Hi Darale,
I agree with Carol on the filters and the adult discus idea. You should also know that neon tetras do not like the high heat that discus require. Use cardinal tetras instead.
