Hi all. I've gone through several HOB filters on my 55. I use Aqueon and Aquaclear filters - one of each and both rated for a 55 gallon. So presumably that's double what's needed, filtration-wise.
I do use aquarium sand in my tank. I thought it settled well before turning my filters back on, but would using HOB filters with sand be the problem? I'd switch to canister filters if I could afford it. On the other hand these filters are lasting around 6 months each!
Thoughts?
