fluidized sandbed filters

Does it matter if you run two fluidized sand filters (one capable of up to 100G and the other up to 40G) on a 135G tank or is it better to just run one large one?

Why are you running one at all? Is this a reef? Or FO?

jsut remember that if the power goes off and within in say an hour the bacterial is dead doesnt take long to kill it off.

So you're saying it's a better idea to have a back up then?

I think they are hinting at you should not use it (them).
Maybe do some searching regarding fluidized sand filters?
