kjfan1 I have a 12" canopy, but my tank is in a very tight spot against a wall.

The reason that its a 55g in that spot is the small 12" depth. Anything more than that and it sticks out into the walkway too much.

That means HOBs are right-out

For $150 you can get a Rena XP2 @ 300 gph for $150 at Petsmart

It's a better deal for your money. I have not ordered here yet, but a lot of people around AQ an MFK have said they had good luck ordering from here.

I would go for a Rena XP3.
