i got a 55 gallon tank, i got a whisper 60 power filter on it. (filled with pig like fish, piranha, oscar) and i'm getting a 20 gallon long. and i was going to put this filter on the 20 gallon long and get either a emperor 400 filter or a whisper 60 power filter for the 55 gallon tank. which should i get?

AquaClear 70 (30-70 gallons) for the 55. AquaClear 30 (10-30 gallons) for the 20. You definately don't want the minimum. I'm not sure either would be happy in a 20 long. How about a 29 with an AquaClear 50? Same footprint and hood, only a few dollars more for the tank and filter.

I'd recommend an AquaClear70 as well; I'm not familiar with Whisper or Emperor, but the AC line has worked great for me.
I do want to say though that when you get the new filter, be watchful of your 55 gallon's water chemistry, since it might go through a minicycle at losing a lot of its bacteria in the filter.

nicely the filter out I even have is an Aquaclear. it is quiet sensible and ordinary to maintain. Ive had it for extra or less 3 months now and has worked super and it retains the water intense-high quality and sparkling and the fish happy. I could confess the explanation i offered it replaced into because of the fact the interior reach puppy shop had a 50% sale on their aqua sparkling products one weekend. It has a three point filter out equipment - first a sponge - then filtered by a carbon bag and finally a 'bio bag' (which i think of is in basic terms a splash bag of porus rocks meant to hold 'stable micro organism'. Im not sure how the pump makes the water pass interior the direction of the three layers whether it type of feels to artwork super. The sponge and bio bag are nonetheless in super shape in basic terms element i had to do is rinse them in some aquarium as quickly as. the only area that i alter is the carbon bag which I in many situations replace as quickly as in step with month. wish this facilitates. Cheers

I just got a Magnum 350 Pro... I highly recommend a canister filter.. The Magnum 350 Pro comes with 2 - 7 " bio wheels.. takes a little elbow grease to get it together but when it is together and running, the results are great... The trickle noise I heard from my Millenium 3000 was quite noisy... No trickles now... My canister filter is the best investment I have made on my 50 gal. tank.
