I had a Marineland C-360 on my old 55g planted and it worked well and came with all the media. Eheim is the best IMO if you can afford it.

i have heard of the eheims sound like reall great filters

 

[neilanh]

Ive heard good things about the eheims. Personnaly I run the Renas and love them. I'd get a Rena XP3 for a 55g.

 

[Gunz05gunz]

I have an Eheim 2028 on a 90g. Great stuff. A Marineland c360, Rena XP3, or Eheim 2026 would work well for you. I would just stay away from fluval.

thanx guys i think i either going with a xp3 or a ehiem

Any suggestions for replacement of a magnum 350 on a 55gal NEW setup (magnum came with tank)? I t has the hang on box dual bio wheels and the filter/canister/pump sits under the tank... or should i keep the magnum? Mine will be a FOWLR

 

[meegosh]

FOWLR = Fish Only With Live Rock ... its a saltie thing. Just thought I'd clear that up. Sorry to threadjack.

Edit: didn't realize it was someone different there...

nickbme06 - you posted this in the freshwater planted tanks section. I'd recommend posting it in the saltwater section to get some better responses.
