Off topic, but
SA14, why are you planning on getting rid of your 2 Aquaclears on your 55?

they don't seem to work well for my turtles. really they weren't designed for use with large aquatic repitles and the mess and waste they produce. the intake pipes get jammed with shedded skin, the screens, foam blocks, and carbon & amonia inserts get saturated quickly, and the motors eventually die or leak. the tank sits in my room back home and since it's 300 miles away I don't get many chances to fix problems or clean the tank. my dad does some stuff, but not much. what I need is a filter system that can handle the amount of waste and the different types of waste that the turtles produce and that only need occasional service. I also need to replace the 8-year-old air pump for the UGF with something more powerful. in short, I just haven't been very satisifed with the AC filters but have only recently started looking into replacement options.
