Filter for 55 gal.

[kgrehm]

I have my 55 gal. tank and it has a top fin 60 filter. Is that ok? Do i need another filter or airstone to extra aggetation(?) of water? What do guys think?

thanks

IMHO I would go with something bigger or at least add another. I like the Emporers or penguins(both have biowheels). I'm assuming you bought the 55g kit from Petsmart.
With more filtration, you can increase you bioload a bit, plus your fish will be happier and healthier.

Good Luck.

How much litres per hour does it do? It also depends what fish you have in the tank and whether you have plants or not.

If i have plants do i need to increase the filtration or decrease?
