filtering a 55 gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
4" convict
2x 3" jack dempseys
2" green terror
3" african cichlid
a blue crayfish
and a 3" pleco
 
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.
 
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.
