Due to my living situation I cannot use a sump. I would like tried and true photos of sumpless filter systems on a 125 or larger Tank. Specifically filters skimmers reactors etc. Pease help me design a system.

better to go nano if you go sumpless, so much equipment you'll be missing out on that are needed in larger tanks. Also, tanks are heavy AF, do you have something that could support the over 1000 lbs (from water alone) tank?

My 125 fowler is sumpless, I understand fowlr would be different from a reef tank. But ill tell you what I have anyway, I have a standard Aqueon 125, with 2 Tidal 110s running. And a Modified Sea clone protein skimmer. And a large Aquafuge2 hob refugium for pods. And I am very happy with it thus far.
What is the 125 being stored on? No chance for any size sump underneath?
Otherwise you could do a custom AIO, pick out your equipment and figure out the dimensions you would want in the AIO portion and that could hide all your equipment.
I know @Tenecor Aquariums could either build you a tank with that AIO or sell you just the AIO if you already have the tank and just need a drop in.

The Tank is Already up , The stand is on a aqueon stand. Don t have anyone one to help me move the tank. HOB and canisters are my only option. Just wanted to see what others have done. Hangon or tunze skimmer?

A side sump has its advantages other than being potentially unsightly. I am very pleased with the tidal 110s. The media baskets are quite large for a hob and are stupid easy to clean if im being honest. Theyve done a great job in my tanks and for a hob they do everything you need them to do, not to mention they are actually very affordable. The flow is also very strong for a hob filter.
