I setting up my tiny 50 gallon tank for my ery ery
and I have gotten myself a hydor 350 and an eheim 2217 for filtration.
I also got a newa 1.6 wave maker for a bit of extra water movement.

How does this sound?

That's plenty for a 50g.
 
I am not sure what your particular filters' flow is stated at....You don't need a wave maker.....Filtration wise 10X the water volume an hour at manufacturer's stated rate is the best in terms of filtration only...., split in at least 2 filters for redundancy.
Filtration depends on oxygen. Oxygen depends on surface agitation amd temperature,....and plants if you fancy a planted tank.. The higher the temp the higher the risk of bad water quality..So keep it to a minimum of fish tolerance, or optimum....
 
Thanks for the replies guys...
I have a turnover very close to 10 times so I guess I good.
