im keaping it on the 55 and if i like how it works i will put one on the 300
dood i totally feel you man
when i first got into making a wet/dry, i had no clue what i was doing and it took me a few months to actually figure it all out by rummaging through all the previous threads. it was ridiculously frustrating but i swear, once you get it, you will fall into a pit of depression cause it feels like you wasted so much time over such a simple concept

Yes it will work. You could save some money because something like this would be great for a 55g also: http://www.aquabuys.com/miva/mercha...de=pca_75_pre&Category_Code=b4&Store_Code=aqb
The only other thing you need is a pump.

there is a penguin 200 on it right now. and there is an oscar, a jack dempsey, and a clown knife in it now.
I would leave the penguin on it and go for something like a Rio 1100, Rio 1400 or similar sized pumps, definitely not bigger. I'm assuming those three fish will go in your 300g or some sort of big tank because the 55g will barely house one of them full grown. This sort of filtration is not really what you would normally put on a 55g. This kind of high-end filtration is mostly used for high-end fish like stingrays or datnoids. That wet/dry filter you're looking at is not enough for even a 180g tank so when you upgrade to a bigger tank, you will have to upgrade to a bigger wet/dry. But overfiltration is always good so if you've got some small oscar, knife, j/d combo you want to grow out and you have the money then.....
so those pump u mention will be good for the sump that i metioned earlier? because i have NO clue how many gph i need for a sump that small.lolTommydeal;2001250; said:I would leave the penguin on it and go for something like a Rio 1100, Rio 1400 or similar sized pumps, definitely not bigger.
