well I am down to just a few minor details with setting up my new 55 GAL tank, but I have a question about filters again...
now I am not sure what fish I will have, how stocked the tank will be down the road. just to start out I am going to take the 3 albino sharks, and the 2 zebra danio's (BILL and TED) and start them in the tank. I bought the 55GAL for the albinos, so they could at least have a little bit bigger of a tank before they eventually kill eachother off :( (or so I am told).
anyway. I have no filter and I wanted to get a bio wheel. I was looking at the emperor 280, which is rated for a 55 GAL I believe. but I know that headroom could be a good thing down the road. :(after the bloodbath:( so in that case maybe the emperor 400 instead. I hope this question doesn't make anyone mad at me but I seriously cannot figure out which way to go. which would you think would be better?
1. either going to just get the emperor 280 BIO-wheel, and later on just add another standard powerfilter
2. just spring for the emperor 400.
anyway, thanks in advance sorry if a rather dumb question...
