need a good filter

Eheim makes one rated for your tank size and larger.

If you consider the CPR Cy-294 wet dry you willnot only resolve your skimmer need but you will also have a filter inplace. just a thought. as for a canister filter for a 120 + I would consider the Lifeguard series componet packaged to suit your needs, or, the Rena Filstar XP4, or, the Ocean Clear, or, the Eheim Pro III . Hope this helps a bit.

You need a overflow for it. You can do either you can drill or you can use a HOB model.

now im thinking about doing wet/dry filter....is dat better than canister filters for saltwater tanks? so if i get a wet/dry filter , i sould also need a syphon overflow kit aswell?

A good wet/dry is the only way to go on saltwater,IMO.But yeah,you'll either have to have a syphon overflow or drill your tank.Thats your choice

I switched to a Magum 350 Delux for my reef and have been very happy. I only use the carbon (not the sponge like sleeve) and it works great. Water levels always stay constant and it's crystal clear. I change the carbon / clean the filter about once per month. I just have a 46 gallon - I get enough water flow from just the pump itself I do not need to use additional powerheads.
