go buy a 150 gallon and use the 55 as your sump...just what i would do

theres nothing wrong with a 55 gallon... get a mated pair of apistogramma that would look real nice. a good filter is an emperor 350 or 400. personally i like to have a filter on each side (and even in the middle on bigger tanks) so 2 350's would work well for you.

no room for a bigger tank right now plus my dad would proly spaz
and ty for the fish suggestion
i herd about the emperor 300 how much do they cost?
