new 110 gallon filtration

I upgraded from a 72 gallon to a 110 gallon tank. I used 2 -2217s on the 72 gallon, but was looking to upgrade. the 2217s seem to keep the 110tank a bit cloudier than i was used to in the 72 gallon tank. I have 4 adult discus now but I am getting 5 more. which is a better filter to upgrade to?

Thanks,
jim

I just sold a 110 gallon with a FX6. It did a great job.

thanks, the fx6 is a bit larger in size than i was looking for.

I've tried the Filstar XP XL up to 665 gallons. It didn't clear the water in my 125 gal; would have needed two. Two HOB AC 110's would have worked better for me. Canister filters from my experience are way over rated. One FX6 worked good.

For me my one fx6 on my other 125 is not enough. It started out good but now after 2 yrs it’s just not working as well. Cleaned everything but still no happy. Have added a wet/dry for a 100g and an internal filter that move 350gph. This just o keep it clean.

thanks for the replies.

It's great, congratulations. I use 50 gallon fish tank.

Tom convinced me that my wet/dry sump is sufficient for my 125 gal. I don't have a huge roll of filter floss like him, but rather about 4 layers of floss under my drip, then seachem matrix. My wet/dry is smaller and I put in purigen/carbon as well. Seems to keep the water clear as long as I change my floss. I have 9 discus 3-6 inches, a school of cardinal and rummy nose, BN pleco and 7 cory's.

I use 50 micron pads in my 90 gal sump. They are washable & last for yrs. Ken has them at a good price. They also can be washed over & over.
