[kevins]

HI I JUST UPDATED MY 40 GAL HEX TO A REG 55 GAL TANK I USE A EMPEROR 280 BIO-FILTER IN THERE AND I JUST BOUGHT A EMPEROR 400 BIO-FILTER I WANT TO USE BOTH, IS THAT A GOOD IDEA? I ALSO AM THINKING ABOUT A SKIMMER DO I NEED ONE EVEN KNOW I'AM USEING BOTH FILTERS?
PLEASE HELP I'AM NEW TO ALL THIS!!
THANKS KEVIN

A skimmer will be a great benefit. If you have room for all three, go for it. You almost can't have too much circulation. Eventually you may not want to run 3 bio-wheels though. I run a 280 on my 37gal. without the wheel since switching to LS.
