Re: Can1000gph canister filter on a 55 gallon tank?
I know that I have a 300gph filter on my 75 gal tank. Plus I've always heard that the more filtration, the better. Especially since you have cichlids in your tank, I think it would be a good idea. It sounds like a good enough deal

Ummm 1000 gph?! On a 55g tank? Yeah, I'd say it's enough, LOL!!! (I think you're supposed to have the tank water completely cycle 3-5 times in an hour, so you'll definitely be good there, as you'll be cycling the water 18.18 times in an hour!) XD
