Is It A Bad Idea?

[tennis4you]

To start a 125 gallon fish tank and instead of using a canister filter big enough to filter the water, use (2) Whisper Bio Filters Water Fall thingies both capable of handling 80 gallons, maybe one each side of the tank on the rear?

Just curious. That should keep the water moving, but is it sufficient for what the fish would need?

(just a ghost knife and some tetras for now, but I am sure I will put more fish in the tank in due time.)

Thanks!

Should be fine.

I believe you will be fine as well. Just on a side note when the BGK gets large enough there is a very good possibility that the Tetra will become food. That is if the Tetra are of a smaller species. A good idea would be to put in some floating plants for the Tetra to hide in when the BGK is on the prowl.
