Ok, right now my 55g has a Whisper 60 on it. I probably need more filtration on it and was going to throw on another one, everyone says dont' use carbon so I'm gunna remove that but what can i add for more bio filtration?
 
aquaclear110 seems to be the favoite around here but other options are emp400 and Penguin350B.

A canister also would be very benificial. SOO many options.....some of the good name brands are Rena/Filstar, Eheim, Hagan/Fluval

add AC-110 you will not be disappointed..AC sponge cut to fit...:grinyes: :grinyes: :grinyes:
 
I saw on here in someones post that they used the teflon pot scrubbers for more bio-filtration because they have much more surface area. I bought some and am trying them in a cpl of my tanks now with no problems. I found them in the local dollar store 3 in a pack for $1.00.

Try a different dollar store, should be 6 for a buck... :grinyes:
