I have a 55 gallon African cichlid tank. Recently ran into some trouble. Not enough oxygen in the tank. I was interested into buying a maxi-jet and using it for aerating the tank with the Airline thingy, then i came across this sure flow mod kit, and saw it makes the normal 300 gph put out about 2000gph, so.. My questions. Too much flow for a 55 gal tank? Will it Oxygenate the water? (enough) And for anybody that has used it before, can you still use the airline thingy, with the sure flow mod.

I salute you if you can help me:):headbang2
 
That seems like a ton of flow in that sized tank for lake fish. What kind of turn over do you have from your filter already?

A simple airstone can add a lot of oxygen to the tank.
 
I have 2 HOBS rated for 60 gallons each, put out about 600 gph total, and a eheim ecco 2336, which is rated for a 80 gallon tank, which has 250gph i believe. Not much water flow in the tank for a fairly overly stocked tank.
