I have a 55 gal tank i currently have a mag 350 and a RUGF running.

I am thinking of doing away with the RUGF because i do weekly gravel vacs anyways, and i do not like the look of my powerheads and lift tubes.

I was thinking of going with a power filter but not sure what i should get. Or should i just stick with the setup i have? Or any other advice people could give is welcomed thx in advance.

I would suggest one of the emperor HOB filters. They're really good and pretty quiet!

I would second the idea of a good HOB unless your tank is planted, in which I would recommend a good canister. Undergravel systems in my honest opinion are pretty much pointless. There will be those who argue with that and I suppose if they do well with undergravel, then more power to them. But I don't see a reason to use them.
