Not so new newbie, question on filtration

Hello everyone,

I am getting back into the hobby after a long break. In the past i kept some big SA Cats and Chichlids in as large as a 125g setup.

To get back into it i just purchased a 55g setup thats pre-drilled with an overflow and an Amiracle Wet/Dry.

In my past experience the Wet/Dry worked awesome. However I have 2 questions:

1) Would it be beneficial to add a small canister to get some chemical filtration going?

2) What size/brand pump do you reccomend? Its going to be about 4' of head pressure i would think.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help guys!

I haven't set up the tank yet. As far as bio-load, not too sure yet. I was going to aim for a little over 5x turnover per hour. I don't want to overwhelm the overflow and wet dry. I think about 300-400 gph at 4' head should do.

In the past I have always been a little overkill with filtration, somethings never change. Probably going the mag drive route as well.

Ended up with about 400gph at 6' head. It was slightly higher than i thought. Went with a Quiet one Model 3000

One thing i am worrying about now is if the Quiet One 3000 is too much flow at 5-6' head for an 55g All Glass overflow kit.

The 3000 at 5' head is about 500gph. I guess i could tone it down with a ball valve?
