filtering a 55 gallon

[tothna]

What do you guys think is the best filtration for a 55 gal tank?

 

[DeLgAdO]

what would be in the tank?

 

[tothna]

4" convict
2x 3" jack dempseys
2" green terror
3" african cichlid
a blue crayfish
and a 3" pleco

maybe an eheim and an aquaclear 110 with do the job superbly

my thoughts exactly, awesome combination

 

[tothna]

eheim? (I'm pretty new to this)

 

[tothna]

and your saying I should use the AC 110 AND the ehiem ?
and do I have a good amount of fish in my tank, too many? could I add more?

The more filtration the better. Eheim is a popular company that makes great quality filters.

As far as the fish go, for now they should be good (perhaps Convicts will beatup a few if they pair up). But Green Terror will outgrow the tank. And it depends which African Cichlid, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of different ones.

I also think the crayfish will be eaten.

You can get by with an Emperor 400 on one side with a powerhead on the opposite side of the aquarium.

Before I sold my 55 setup I ran it with a fluval 303 for a time, after that died I had two Whisper 4 power filters on it.
