xp3 on a 55 gal cochlid tank

[convict3]

i have a chance to get a used xp3 for $60.00 US is it to much current for the 15 cichlids that will be in the 55 gal?

thx in advance.

I have an XP3 on a 100gal. Cichlid tank (with a Jebo 828 as backup). They love it. The tank is setup with the powerjet nozzle one way and a powerhead the other way. I have 2 current streams that circulate the water in a circle? heh. Anyway, when I feed, the frozen cubes break apart, get caught in the jetstreams, and the fish chase them around like live food. It's the best!

"15 cichlids that will be in the 55 gal"

I've got 2 on my 125g and 1 used one my 39g. Both work great. I got my used one for $50 before the new prices jumped up.

I would double check that it is working right

my XP3 full of media is very very powerful:

You can soften the return flow with a spray bar or multiple returns.

And like 12v man said check it first.
