any help out there as to what kind of filters I should outfit it with?? Canisters, Emporers? I have two large clown fish to add to the tank, and two albino channel cats.. I have a 55 gal. tank with two very large oscars, who are quite happy that the clowns and catfish are taking up residence elsewhere :) Yes, they were all in the same tank..It was a temporary living arrangement until I get the bigger tank liveable. They are all getting along just fine...Help me outfit this bigger tank, please.. Open to any and all suggestions from aquarium keepers who have been at this for awhile.. Thanks...Swbuda

i would suggest ehiems if you have the $$$ durable and dependable. If you don't want to spend a little extra go with the fluval or the filstar.
Better to overfilter than under with those big guys.

I have had my eye on a Eheim 2217.... I will check out the others but have pretty much decided. I want to do it right! :D

good choice on the eheim, but I would also add 2 emporer 400s up top or a emp 400 and AC300 with nothing but sponges.
