55 Gal Filter

[Bobby35]

What the best filtration for a 55 gallon tank? I'm thinking of using a under gravel filter as well.

Depends on the fish you are getting. If getting corys I've heard that under gravel filters are best avoided.

I've heard bad things about under gravel filters. Should the power head or air pump breakdown, your bacteria colony will die and the conditions could kill all your fish while you are at work. Almost any bio-wheel filter 70 gallons and up will keep the water crystal clean.

UGF are still very good, as long as you understand how they work and how to clean them. However times have moved on and there is better namely external filters, less hassle better bio filter i wouls advise looking a tetratec or hydor prime good price great filters

my father in law had an undergravel filter as well as one over the back. Worked out pretty well for him
