Anyone ever used a Rocket Filter?

You have a couple of options depending on your filtration.
Sump filtration
If you have a sump, filter socks on the drain hoses from the tank into the sump is the way to go.
Canister/hob filtration.
Add a aqueon110 with double sponges to just filter mechanical debris.
I wouldnt really recommend a sand trap as they are generally really hard to clean and its usually a pain as it will overflow sand till its at a equilibrium with the flow getting the tank messy and possibly damaging pumps having sand in them. But they do work.

Is the stock only 1 Oscar? you could handle that with a couple HOB filters and a powerhead.
You'll have to adopt out the Tinfoil's and an Oscar, if upgrading the 55 is out of the question. A 6' 125 would be the minimum size for 2 adult Oscars.
I've never heard of a Rocket filter (no input on that). Oscars are big messy fish and require a lot of filtration and and big water changes. A sump is always a good bet, big canister filters (Fluvals or Eheims) expensive but good, The Filstar XPXL is a great filter approx $180. Aquaclear 110's are great HOB filters but you would require a few of them with Oscars.
With Oscars you can never have too much filtration.
