I am picking up a 55 gallon tank so i can move my Africans in it from my 30 gallon. I want to know would 1 Fuval 205, and 2 AC 70's be enough flitration for the 55 gallon tank. I aso will be running a power head 30 that i have, or should i buy another Canister filter and have two canisters and two (HOB's)

I have a 55 gallon which has 2 HOB filters. They work fine for me. Fluval 205? Only with another canister or HOB. A filter (or multiples) should be rated for 1.5 to twice the volume of the tank. I'm sure what an ac 70 is, but if it's more filtration then all you have probably enuf if the others are at least rated to filter 20g each. Good luck!

Ok thanks i am running the Fuval 205 and the 2 AC 70;s, so far i am doing good with the filtration. I might be going out to look at maybe buying a fuval 305 to also add to my 55 gallon tank, just to add some more support in case it needs it.
