Upgrade Filter ?

[woodwalker]

I have a 55gal FO tank and looking to upgrade my Filter. Currently running
a eheim canister with a protein skimmer and 2 power heads. I have 2 per clowns, a coral beauty angel, and a 6 line wrasse. any suggestions?

With that size tank you can use a canister or a wet/dry. I personally have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with a fluval 405 canister running on it, along with a protien skimmer and UV. This filter works great. Personaly i think a 55 is to small to use a sump/wet dry.
Good Luck

I have a small canister , Eheim2215, thats why I wanted to upgrade
I guess I will see what happens...

If you decide to upgrade to a larger canister i recomend the Fluval 05 series canister filters.

I had the Fluval 403 until a power outage claimed it. I went shopping
for a new filter awhile back and ended up with the eheim 2215. I never
had a problem with the canister filter I just wish I bought something
bigger..

how many gallons in your Eheim rated for? How are your Nitrates?

Do you have a sump? You could easily fit a nice sump/fuge under that tank. IMO there's no better filter.
